    I'm partial to glob, myself. e.g. @files = (glob("*"), glob(".*"));

    Update: added missing parentheses.

    Update: just for fun, and those who abhor repetition: @files = map glob, qw(* .*);

    Update: duff++

      What about those of us who are lazy?

      @files = glob "* .*";

    That's built into perl and requires you to write more code :)
