Writing a "for" loop
Hi All.
I'm new to Unix, decided to embrace it finally, and am so impressed.
As part of my learning plan, i've been set this question but i'm a bit stuck as to where to start!
Set a variable called $X to the contents of a directory-
and then using a "for" loop test each component to see if it is a file or a directory.
Print the details i.e.
... is a directory
... is a file
Any advice at all would be hugely appreciated.
Also, any recommendations as to the best books for a complete Unix novice to read to get a good overview of the basics?
Many thanks in anticipation.

tap::parser::result::plan
TAP::Parser::Result::Plan(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide TAP::Parser::Result::Plan(3pm)
NAME
TAP::Parser::Result::Plan - Plan result token.
VERSION
Version 3.26
DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of TAP::Parser::Result. A token of this class will be returned if a plan line is encountered.
1..1
ok 1 - woo hooo!
1..1 is the plan. Gotta have a plan.
OVERRIDDEN METHODS
Mainly listed here to shut up the pitiful screams of the pod coverage tests. They keep me awake at night.
o "as_string"
o "raw"
Instance Methods
"plan"
if ( $result->is_plan ) {
print $result->plan;
}
This is merely a synonym for "as_string".
"tests_planned"
my $planned = $result->tests_planned;
Returns the number of tests planned. For example, a plan of 1..17 will cause this method to return '17'.
"directive"
my $directive = $plan->directive;
If a SKIP directive is included with the plan, this method will return it.
1..0 # SKIP: why bother?
"has_skip"
if ( $result->has_skip ) { ... }
Returns a boolean value indicating whether or not this test has a SKIP directive.
"explanation"
my $explanation = $plan->explanation;
If a SKIP directive was included with the plan, this method will return the explanation, if any.
"todo_list"
my $todo = $result->todo_list;
for ( @$todo ) {
...
}
