I had been trying that like this:

my @files;

open (CFG,"<$ENV{HOME}/bin/$configFile") or die "Cannot Open Config Fi
+le: $!\n";
while (<CFG>){
    chomp;
    s/ \d+$//;
    @files = < $_ >;
}

close(CFG);
print join ("\n", @files);

But I get "glob failed (child exited with status 1) at ./old_file_scrub line XX". If I trim the entry in the config file to the point that there is only 1 "*" in it, it works fine, but not with both.
