Re^4: Multiple file input into a perl script

The magic diamond-operator <> only works if you stuff the filenames into @ARGV.

My reading of I/O Operators has me believing that using the diamond operator for globbing works as the OP seems to expect. Here's what I get with a simple test:

-> ls
file1.txt       file2.txt       file3.txt
-> perl -le '@files = <file*>; print @files;'
file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt

I may have missed something, but it looks to me that kelder's expectation of how globbing works with <> is right. Is there a platform difference to worry about? (OP is on a Mac, above test runs the same on a Mac and under NetBSD.)
