Re: read the content of a hidden folder in a list

hidden folders in unix are only hidden when listed in a shell without
the -a option to ls. they are never hidden to programs.

gd> $path = '/home/user/.gnome2/folder/folder';

are you sure there is a 'folder' inside the 'folder' dir? odd to see
duplicate names like that in a path.

gd> in a list but with

gd> opendir(DIR, "$path") || die "folder not found" $!;

don't quote scalars like that as it isn't needed and can lead to bugs.

gd> I got an error message.

it helps to actually post the error message! you printed $! but we don't
know what happened out of the many reasons it could have failed.
