[HRPM] line noise

[Troy E. Webster]

Hey all,

Can someone please assist me in decoding this line of code...
I am in the process of trying to modify someone else's (broken) code, and
I don't understand what this one line does. Specifically, what does the
line noise after grep mean??

Here's the line: 

###
local(@allfiles) = grep !/^\.\.?$/, readdir(THISDIR);
###

Thanks in advance,
Troy Webster
