Re^2: A bizarre way to get a list of filenames

even the parser is sometimes confused

Nitpick: Unlike other cases, such as map or //, I think the rules for when <...> is readline vs glob are pretty clearly spelled out in I/O Operators.

kiz: Note that using glob has several caveats, described in To glob or not to glob. In this particular example that you showed in your post, it's probably fine.

> pretty clearly spelled out in I/O Operators here I agree with the docs These days, it's considered cleaner to call the internal function directly as glob($foo), which is probably the right way to have done it in the first place .) I passively remember very hairy edge cases here, and sometimes people try to overload `<>` for their own iterator use and fail because of edge cases. It's our main iterator operator after all.
