[MacPerl] Simple OpenDir problem

[terry chay <tychay@physics.uiuc.edu>]

	What's wrong with this code?

print "Attempting to open current directory" . `pwd` . "...\n";
opendir(DIR, `pwd`) or die 'cannot open directory';
@files = readdir(DIR);
#closedir(DIR);
foreach $file (@files) {
     print("$file\n");
}


	Returns..

Attempting to open current directoryTYikes!:Desktop Folder:Palm 
installations:showtimes
...
# cannot open directory.
File 'TYikes!:Desktop Folder:Palm installations:showtimes:test.pl'; Line 3

	Note, it seems to work fine for ':' and relative pathnames 
but not for `pwd` or absolute pathnames.

	Thanks!

	terry
