Actually globbing is one of the most unportable things on unix. The way perl solves this is by calling /bin/csh with your glob and passes you the result. This is also why globbing CANT work while working under Taint mode...

As of 5.6 perl began implementing this with bsd_glob. See `perldoc -f glob` and `perldoc File::Glob` for more... P.S. I've been using it on Windows without any problems. Thanks, Ira, "~/.signature not found" ~Signature from my lead's e-mail	[reply] [d/l] [select]
