What

Multiple concurrent opendir() calls on the same mocked directory now maintain independent iteration state.

Why

Opening the same directory with two dirhandles caused the second opendir() to overwrite the first handle's DirHandle object. Subsequent readdir()/telldir()/seekdir()/rewinddir() on the first handle would silently fail (return undef or warn about invalid dirhandle).

This is a POSIX semantics violation — real Perl supports any number of independent directory handles to the same path.

How

Replaced the single-slot {'obj'}/{'fh'} storage with a {'dir_handles'} hash keyed by stringified dirhandle. Each opendir creates its own DirHandle entry; closedir sets the entry to undef (keeping the key for double-close detection).

Testing

Added t/concurrent_opendir.t with 15 tests covering:

  • Two handles iterating the same directory independently
  • Closing one handle while the other continues
  • Per-handle telldir/seekdir/rewinddir isolation
  • Double-close warning

Full test suite: 95 files, 1601 tests, no regressions.

Opening the same mocked directory with multiple dirhandles caused the
second opendir to overwrite the first handle's iteration state, making
subsequent readdir/telldir/seekdir/rewinddir on the first handle fail.

Replace the single-slot {'obj'}/{'fh'} storage with a per-handle
{'dir_handles'} hash keyed by stringified dirhandle, giving each
opendir call its own independent DirHandle with separate position.
