Re: View hidden files?

glob doesn't list "." files unless you ask it to.

my @files = <$dir/.* $dir/*>;

You'll have fewer problems if you use bsd_glob directly.

use File::Glob qw( bsd_glob );

my @files = ( bsd_glob("$dir/.*"), bsd_glob("$dir/*") );

Doesn't glob just call File::Glob::bsd_glob (by default) anyway? `my @files = glob "$dir/{,.}";` [download] Works fine for me :-) Update:* I should finish reading the docs... apparently, glob still splits on space, though I'm not sure why.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks, you first code worked perfectly.	[reply]

Only as long as you don't try to list a dir that has a space in its name. The second executes the same code, but doesn't treat spaces specially.	[reply]
