in reply to system and wildcard expansion?

I got an echo.exe when I installed http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/coreutils.htm, and have since renamed it to gecho.exe

    Indeed, when I do the same, things behave as expected:

    c:\>cd Perl64\bin c:\Perl64\bin>ren echo.exe gecho.exe c:\Perl64\bin>cd \test c:\test>perl -e"system 'echo junk*'" junk*

    Many thanks.
