in reply to writing portable file processing scripts that use wildcards in filenames

On OS X and BeOS, and anything else with a proper shell, that will do the globbing for you so you don't have to. I'm not sure about Amiga and VMS.

For Windows, you should probably use File::DosGlob (which is core) or Win32::Wildcard.

    AFAIK AmigaDE (or Anywhere, or whatever the hell it's called these days) has a bash-compatible shell (though I'm not sure there's a Perl interpreter for DE). On AmigaOS you'll have to do it yourself, same goes for AROS.
