Please note that glob is a byzantine way of finding files and it relies heavily on the idea that no part of the glob pattern will contain a space. That idea is prevalent in much of the Unix mindset, but it easily fails on Win32 (unless you start and take care to quote the whitespace).

If you're sure that your paths cannot and will not contain spaces, glob is convenient to use. If there is the possibility that the patterns will contain spaces, I found it more convenient to use File::Find (or File::Find::Rule) right from the start.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
