NAME

       DirHandle - supply object methods for directory handles

SYNOPSIS

           use DirHandle;
           $d = DirHandle->new(".");
           if (defined $d) {
               while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something($_); }
               $d->rewind;
               while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something_else($_); }
               undef $d;
           }

DESCRIPTION

       The "DirHandle" method provide an alternative interface to the opendir(), closedir(), readdir(), and
       rewinddir() functions.

       The only objective benefit to using "DirHandle" is that it avoids namespace pollution by creating globs
       to hold directory handles.
