in reply to Should non-filename glob() results still be tainted?
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.
Never mind, I actually meant the duality of the <diamond> operator, and readline and glob already fix this mostly.
