Re: How to Rename files in multiple directories with a Perl script using an array of hashes.

Welcome to the Monastery.

"Glob is not my friend."

Without any examples of your "real subscription folder files", I can't give specific advice; however, here are some suggestions:

Build up $glob_expression separately and then just call glob($glob_expression). As an example, see my "Re: Set intersection problem" post from a couple of weeks ago, where I had to do something similar.
The glob() documentation has examples of dealing with filenames containing spaces (which can be considered as a special character). You may be able to do something similar with whatever special characters your filenames contain.
The File::Glob module may have useful information; in particular, GLOB_LIMIT seems relevant.
Show us some representative samples of your real data so that we can provide better answers. :-)

Thank you. The Perldocs File::Glob documentation helped me with a mistake I was making. I may have been confusing Perl with another language, but I had thought that single quotes don't work with variables. I am not a programmer. It looks as though my issue may not be glob anymore.	[reply]
