NB: Did you notice that "glob" is sometimes spelled "<>"? It's
easy to miss. "<>" in the following example is glob, *not*
(did I mention *not*) the diamond input operator.

Since <> is used so often in a while loop to mean the
diamond operator, I prefer to spell out "glob" as follows.
while (glob "sn.????") {
print "$_\n";
}
Just a *preference*. They're both *right*.
