in thread So much for Test::* :)

Works for me.

With a standard build of Perl? Or your own build that you've enabled -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB on?

Cos I ain't imagining it:

    Nothing special with globbing.

    >perl -le"print for @ARGV;" *.* *.*

    In case it matters,

    >perl -MExtUtils::Command -le"print ExtUtils::Command->VERSION" 1.14 >perl -MExtUtils::Command::MM -le"print ExtUtils::Command::MM->VERSION +" 6.44
