I don't know about mucking with the internals of glob, but I'm with perrin, given the current push to move stuff out of the core, this sounds like a really straight forward module to just include with -M ...

# Recurse.pm
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;

BEGIN {
    my @my_argv = ();
    foreach my $arg (@ARGV) {
        find({ "wanted" => sub { push @my_argv, $_; 1; },
               "no_chdir" => 1
               },
             $arg);
    }
    @ARGV = @my_argv;
}
1;

(Anyone who wants to package that up, put it on CPAN, and deal with potential bug reports / feature requests; has my blessings. But please post a reply so others know it's available)

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


good chemistry is complicated, and a little bit messy -LW
