For what it's worth, that would be much more efficient as this:

    opendir(DIR, "/home/httpd/html");
    @input=grep(!/^\./, readdir(DIR));
    closedir(DIR);

(Of course, that only generates a list of files, not the full "ls -l"
style listing, but that could easily be done with a stat() &
printf().)
