Re: asterisk problems, and more

Because the Wintendo shell doesn't expand globs; it's up to the receiving program to do so if it wants to understand them. Your options are to get a real shell, or preprocess @ARGV.

if( $^O eq 'MSWin32' ) {
  @ARGV = map glob( $_ ), @ARGV;
}

I recommend doing this in your `for` loop. Instead of: `for (@ARGV) { }` [download] Use: `for ( grep {-f $_} map{ glob($_) } @ARGV ) { }` [download] This will, in a cross-platform way, return a list of all files in the directory. If you need things that aren't files (like directories), you can drop the `grep {-f $_}` piece.
