No:

c:\windows\system32>perl -wle "print for glob shift" "C:/Program Files
+/*"

Using File::Glob::bsd_glob works as it should:

c:\windows\system32>perl -MFile::Glob=bsd_glob -wle "print for bsd_glo
+b shift" "C:/Program Files/*"
C:/Program Files/HP

... but the direction of slashes does not matter:

c:\windows\system32>perl -MFile::Glob=bsd_glob -wle "print for bsd_glo
+b shift" "C:\Program Files\*"
