haroyken has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: O wise monks I beseech thy help in understanding this snippet of perl: Basically I had files stores in multiple dir and want to assign the location of these files to an array E.g. /home/a1/data/loga1.txt (data also contains other files with different extension) /home/b2/data/logb2.txt /home/c3/data/logc3.txt my @array = </home/*/data/*.txt>;does the job but I don't understand why Normally I've seen the diamond operator with STDIN, etc. or filehandle. How does it work with a directories with wildcards like this ? Thank you very much
