in thread Sort of like a file handle, but not

Actually globbing is one of the most unportable things on unix. The way perl solves this is by calling /bin/csh with your glob and passes you the result. This is also why globbing CANT work while working under Taint mode...

    As of 5.6 perl began implementing this with bsd_glob. See perldoc -f glob and perldoc File::Glob for more...

    P.S. I've been using it on Windows without any problems.

    Thanks, Ira,
