in thread Makefile.PL even weirder on Windows

I assume that the 1..m line applies to each file, not the whole set? The docs seem to imply the latter, but that makes things more difficult.

Is the glob operator defined to return a list sorted by name? Ah yes, it's documented in File::Glob.

    Yup. It defines the number of expected tests for an individual test script.

    What does it make more difficult?

      Because if that were the case, the 1..n line would have to be printed by the =first= file, which imposes that they be run in the proper order, and not easily run seperatly.
