Thanks, John. I didn't realize that. This morning, I found
http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/readdir.html and read the following:
"If you're planning to filetest the return values out of a readdir, you'd
better prepend the directory in question. Otherwise, because we didn't chdir
there, it would have been testing the wrong file."
which is just a more verbose way of saying what you said already. ;)

I see it now. It was actually put there by mistake and has been
removed from the latest version.

Well that's embarrassing. :\ I guess that's what I get for going too
fast.
Thanks again for the help,
