There's enough up there about the correct use of glob() and of m{}.

I'd like to point out it's silly to glob on *.* and then ignore anything not matching *.c. Be more specific in the glob and you won't need the internal condition:

use 5.010; say for glob '*.c'; # or if you're doing more than using the filename once .. for my $file ( glob '*.c' ) { print $file, "\n"; lots_of_complicated_code( $file ); }

As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
