you can modify their contents via the empty angle brackets: <>. I don't think you can do that with glob ...
Well, this is the one case where I prefer angle brackets (in this special case often refered to as "the diamond operator") over the readline function.
You were right about this not being able with glob, as empty angle bracket expressions are handled by readline :) <> eq <ARGV> eq readline *ARGV (but only if the three lines (records) are stringologically equal).
- Yes, I reinvent wheels.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
