Re: get list of files matching part of file name

What a strange way to use glob(). You're better off with proper use of readdir():

# open current directory for reading
opendir my $dh, '.' or die;

# iterate through the entries
while (my $dir = readdir($dh)) {
  # your code here
}
closedir $dh;

If you want to use glob() properly, you need to do glob("*/*sample*") to get every file in the current directory's immediate subdirectories with 'sample' in its name.

There seems to be at least one real bug in your code: You aren't in /home/test when you do the glob.
