Now the odds are that you have a recent Perl. That means either a heavily patched 5.005 or (more likely) you have 5.6. In that case see the other notes in this thread about the glob implementation changing.

In short, before saying someone's statement (made on a direct test) is wrong, it is good to have tied out all relevant factors. And in this case you can see that while it may not differ for you, it does for me. And it does for me on the version that I stated up front had differences.

Incidentally I already knew about the braindead command line handling on Windows. If you want to prove that the executable handles it, it is probably easiest to just write a trivial VB application that echoes the command line. And the best way around the way that perl.exe handles it is to pick a different quote delimiter:

perl -e "print map qq($_\n), glob('{A,B}{a,b}');"
