Re^3: A bizarre way to get a list of filenames

> 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.

update maybe "like" you, but I didn't mean "you"! No worries, I wasn't being serious, hence the ;-) (But if there do happen to be issues with the code I posted, I'd like to know, since I've used `<>` overloading a few times now...)	[reply] [d/l]
