Interestingly, we've found a place where Perl's glob behaves differently to the brace expansion in bash:

$ perl -wE 'say glob "{{a}}"'
a
$ echo {{a}}
{{a}}

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

I tend to side with the shell here. Braces which don't enclose a comma are not a glob pattern (for me). 🦛	[reply]

I disagree, behavior should be consistent. The glob could be constructed with a `$str = join ",", @list` part between the curlies `glob "$start{$str}$end"` and fail for `@list < 2` Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
