oddly- the grep documentation in perldoc doesn't even mention
filehandles. readdir does show proper use though- when i looked up grep
in the perldocs, the issue remained unclear to me. But, of course, it
was my self induced "blindness" that kept me from seeing the solution.
Now, a <FILEHANDLE> might be seen in a list context- but connecting
that to grep {code} @list; was just too much for my little brain to
handle at that time *laugh*
