Heh. Funny just today I used this property to my advantage:
my $filter = @$custs ? join('|', map quotemeta($_),@$custs) : "";
$filter=qr/^(?!_)(?:$filter)/i;
( my $year_mon = $mon_year ) =~ s/(\d+)_(\d+)/20${2}_${1}/;
my @dirs = map {
if (-d $_) {
warn "Considering: $_\n";
s/.*?([^\\\/]+)$/$1/;
if (/$filter/) {
warn "Processing: $_\n";
$_
} else {
warn "Skipping: $_\n";
()
}
} else {
();
}
} glob File::Spec->catfile( $root, '*' );
This code scans a directory and either includes all directories that dont begin with an _ or only the customers specified in the @$custs array (that dont start with _). I just thought it was funny reading this only minutes after I wrote the above code. (Actually modified some ugly old code to handle a customer filter. Obviously I didnt bother de-uglifying it ;-)
Anyways, just thought i'd share the irony with yall.

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).

are good places to start.
