This line screws you up. Change the || to 'or'.
@files = bsd_glob(...) or die "Yikes: $!";
The reason being: || binds very tightly, and 'or' binds less tightly.
With ||, your code is like
@file
Apparently I'm not getting what it is that File::Glob is supposed to
do:
ls tmp/file_[0-9]*|wc -l
99
All 99 look like
tmp/file_NUM with incrementing number.
Why doesn't this code unwind the list of files?
when this command is given:
./testglob.pl 'tmp/file_[0-9]*'
cat ./testglob.pl
#!/us
