in reply to one-liner yields unexpected result

This is even easier to do with the Unix find(1) command:

find /.mnt.* -type f -print

There's more than one way to do it, and often the easiest way isn't Perl.

[JavaFan]

That would list the content of /.mnt.94, /.mnt.01 and /.mnt.foo, none of them will be listed by the OPs snippet.

Sure -- you can always use /.mnt.{1..93} (in Bash and Zsh, at least) if that is an actual problem.
