Hi greatshots,

opendir doesn't allow wildcards, as it is not designed to list filenames, but to open a special file, that is a directory.

In the perldoc for opendir (perldoc -f opendir) you have an small example filtering filenames from an opendir and readdir, using grep. You can do something similar:

opendir(DIR, $some_dir) || die "can't opendir $some_dir: $!";         
+      
@tdefs = grep { /\.tdef$/ && -f "$some_dir/$_" } readdir(DIR);
closedir DIR;
