Well, maybe there was more than one oversight... ;-)

This code

tinyperl -e "print <*>"

generates a system error, while ActiveState Perl executes without a shrug.

Don't misunderstand me. I am really thrilled about TinyPerl. It's just that I am cautious when embracing new software, and before saying that it is stable I usually wait until some bugs are reported.

Same deal.

perldoc -f glob
    glob EXPR
    glob    Returns the value of EXPR with filename expansions such as
+ the
            standard Unix shell /bin/csh would do. This is the interna
+l
            function implementing the "<*.c>" operator, but you can us
+e it
            directly. If EXPR is omitted, $_ is used. The "<*.c>" oper
+ator
            is discussed in more detail in "I/O Operators" in perlop.

            Beginning with v5.6.0, this operator is implemented using 
+the
            standard "File::Glob" extension. See File::Glob for detail
+s.

Being cautious is good, and i'm sure you knew about glob.
