dir(3pm)

💖 dir(3pm) — aka the manual page for OpaL::dir 💖

Okay bestie, listen. You're looking at dir(3pm), a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's all about a lil module called OpaL::dir. Sit down, sip your strawberry matcha, and let's get into it. 🍓✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

OpaL::dir — a Perl extension for directory access. That's it, that's the whole vibe. It gets you into directories, but like… advanced.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the whole thing in one glance, no notes:

use OpaL::dir qw(getdirlist);

@list = getdirlist($directory);

Look at that. Clean. Iconic. Zero drama. You import getdirlist, you point it at a $directory, and boom — you got a @list. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So OpaL::dir is a module for directory access, right? And it does it in a bit more advanced manner than the ordinary perl module for directory access. That's literally what the docs say and honestly? Slay. It's giving "the regular one could never." 👑

🎀 FUNCTIONS 🎀

💜 getdirlist

This one's the main character. Here's what she does:

• Returns a list containing all files in the directory you have specified. 🗂️
• It will look for all files recursivly. (Yes, that's spelled like that in the original, and we respect the spelling, no cap.)
• It will also exclude all CVS/* files, and the "." and ".." directories. Not invited to the party, sorry. 🙈

USAGE:

@list = "getdirlist"($directoryname);

Heads up: that's exactly how the usage line is written — with "getdirlist" in quotes. We're keeping it character-for-character because that's the rule, bestie. 🫶

👑 AUTHOR 👑

This absolute legend wrote it:

Ola Lundqvist <ola@inguza.com>

Respect the author, they made the module. 🌈

---

🔥 REQUIRES 🔥

This package requires OpaL::action, so you have to make sure that that perl module is installed. Do NOT skip this step. If OpaL::action isn't there, things are gonna be a whole mess and not the cute kind. 😭

And that's the whole page, bestie — you ate it. 💅✨
