This is a known bug, not just redhat, I tried on windows, exactly the same problem.

To handle spaces, just use bsd_glob. For example:

use File::Glob ':glob';
use Data::Dumper;

my $pattern = "C:/Program Files/*";
my @ary1 = bsd_glob("$pattern");
my @ary2 = bsd_glob("$pattern");
my @ary3 = bsd_glob("$pattern");
print Dumper(\@ary1);
