I did not write the application. I am not sure why the carriage return |
| 13 |
at the end of the line was causing a problem as an argument to opendir, |

but the most irritating part was that when I printed out $dir, strange |
| 15 |
things could happen, which inhibited my debugging. :-) |

P.S. if you want to see the code, it is a package called petrovich |
| 20 |
(hosted at sourceforge), and I will be checking it into app-misc |
| 21 |
sometime this weekend. |
