in reply to globbing on remote network paths from a linuxbox

glob does not have sane defaults regarding whitespace. I recommend the following line at the top of your program to enable sane whitespace defaults for glob by replacing it with File::Glob:

use File::Glob qw(bsd_glob);

That will remove the use of whitespace as a glob spec separator and will make glob() work the way it should, by simply wildcard-expanding its single argument.
