in reply to Should non-filename glob() results still be tainted?

Sorry! Never mind, see update :)


This is one of the more confusing DWIM parts in Perl, and from time to time I get bitten by those heuristics.

I'd rather prefer to have another syntax for creating combinations, like

xglob '{,x}{,y}{,z}'

which never does a readdir and is not subject to taint.

update

Never mind, I actually meant the duality of the <diamond> operator, and readline and glob already fix this mostly.
