SuicideJunkie's reply Re: Whitespace protection in glob expression for Windows network paths "works" (on a local or mapped drive) with Win7, AS 5.018 ...

          ... as a script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use 5.018;

# 1106821

my @dir = @ARGV;

for my $dir(@dir) {
    print glob "\"$dir/*\"\n";
}

[download]

          ... and as a one-liner at the cmd prompt:

C:\>perl -E "my $dir = \"d:\_wo\"; print glob \"$dir/*\";

where "works" is not deprecated as a descriptor because of its failure to terminate each item with a return, tab or other spacer... but that's an issue rooted in this usage of glob.

You're apt to learn something valuable if you'll do the necessary work to trace down and understand what went wrong with your attempt to implement the first reply.
