</lang> will succeed on openning a symlinked dir (it makes sense), and that's the thing one needs to check for. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 00:53, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Ok, you are right that -d under perl does the wrong thing for a terminating recursive traversal. That said, the perl implementation does not seem to be using -d for that purpose. Similarly, the C implementation uses stat, and not opendir, to recognize directories. Even the zsh implementation is doing the right thing. But now I am wondering: does zsh also have the issue where paths such as ../foo are manipulated by the shell before being passed to the operating system? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 12:22, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
