ISAI student has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

See the LINUX log below: Directory evgeny (which belongs to user evgeny) is not found by glob. After doing cd evgeny and cd ../, glob find it. 

evgeny@analog4 620 > perl -e 'print join("\n",( glob "*")), "\n";'

    I'm not sure I see the problem.

    You mention that the directory isn't mounted the first time you run the script. How could glob possibly detect things which do not exist in the directory yet?

    Surely it should not try and rifle through your system files to figure out if something will auto-mount, or poke every possible directory name to see if it appears.
