Hi again!
If I understood it right...
@list = glob('*.txt');
would return all files that ends with *.txt in current directory?
Usually.
If there are a lot of files in the directory, this will file.
About the same time that the shell command 'rm' or 'ls' will faile if
you do:
rm *.txt
for F in `ls *.txt`; do
Rare?
But I've seen it enough to consider just how many files I'm expecting.
I don't know the real number necessary to have this fail: could be 10^3
or 10^4.
