If you use File::Glob, then spaces in file wildcards are just fine.

If you use File::DosGlob and then read the documentation, then you will find you can quote the spaces in your wildcard with " or \:

use File::DosGlob;
my @matches= glob( qq<"$file"> );
( my $slashed= $file ) =~ s/\s/\\\1/g;
my @files= glob( $slashed );

These also work for me without use File::DosGlob (at least when running under Win32 -- I haven't tested this elsewhere).
