Thanks toolic for that good suggestion. That was uncharted territory for me. Just checked it out, and it seems to work very well. Bye bye glob on Windows!	[reply]

Um, Path::Tiny uses readdir so that you don't have to. File::Find::Rule uses readdir so that you don't have to. Its convenience, why spend 15min-2hours to reinvent Path::Tiny/File::Find::Rule each time you have a problem? File::Find::Rules is like cake (sweet), where File::Find is like raw flour, opendir/readdir is like wheatberries/otas/groats/whole wheet you have to grind into flour before you can bake your cake So `my @kids = path( $programFiles )->children;` easier than readdir , and more memorable than glob :)	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks. I've been given 2 solutions that work well: directory handles, and bsd_glob. Probably 15 minutes to get a feel for each, after which additional coding time is negligible. I tend to steer clear of non-core modules unless they provide more significant advantages, but I'm sure both the ones to which you refer are very worthy. I'm a lover of muesli, so whole grains are fine by me. Do users of File::Find::Rule tend to be overweight? :-)	[reply]
