in thread File Globbing bug?

No, what I mean is is there a file globbing bug that occurs when you enter some characters, and then a wildcard asterisk as a file glob, like <CVS*>?

The current directory _is_ what I think it is - most of the time the <CVS*> works in finding the CVS directory when it is present, but somethimes it doesn't. I cannot reproduce this every time - it only happens sometimes.

As soon as I sent the message, I realized that the -d test is what I should be using, so the code has been changed. But aside from that, does file globbing have a bug when specifying the first X characters in a filename followed by an asterisk wildcard?

    Perhaps it does, but then it's unknown (it would be fixed if it was known).

    Please write a small program that exhibits the bug and use the perlbug command to report it.
