Re^2: What's the difference between stat and sort?

"At least on my system"? Oh now that's not good enough! perldoc -f glob says: "Beginning with v5.6.0, this operator is implemented using the standard "File::Glob" extension. See File::Glob for details."

perldoc File::Glob says: ""GLOB_NOSORT" By default, the pathnames are sorted in ascending ASCII order; this flag prevents that sorting (speeding up bsd_glob())."

So there we go, a definitive answer for Perls greater than 5.6.0. As for previous Perls, upgrade already!

I didn't need to look it up. I already knew it sorted on my system :) Upgrade? Examine what is said, not who speaks.
