in reply to Glob problem

Does it make a difference if you rename $a to $c? $a is a special variable reserved for the use of sort and glob may invoke it.

    That should only be a problem when you are using a global $a, not a my variable, shouldn't it?? Nevertheless, in general a good advice to keep as far away as possible from $a and $b - however tempting they may be :)

    Sadly not, but thanks for the suggestion.
