This class extends IO::Dir by adding exception handling to the class and a more object oriented style (look at the synopsis).

	new($$)
	next($)
	get_over($)
	get_curr($)
	close($)
	TEST($)

new($$)

This is a constructor for the Meta::IO::Dir object. It overrides the default IO::Dir constructor and throws an exception if any initialization problems occured (no need to check return value).

next($)

Moves to the next value in the directory.

get_over($)

Returns whether the directory handle is over.

get_curr($)

Returns the current value the directory handle is pointing at.

close($)

Closes the current directory handle.

TEST($)

This is a testing suite for the Meta::IO::Dir module. This test is should be run by a higher level management system at integration or release time or just as a regular routine to check that all is well. This test currently opens a directory in the baseline and prints the entries in it.

None.

None.
