| Subject: | Globally breaks all other file globbing |
Hi!
I suggest moving the File::Maker module below the Acme:: namespace.
Globally hijacking the file globbing syntax does way too strong
interfere with other modules.
See my attached example which uses another modules sub to get a file
list. The calling code can't know that a use'd module uses the globbing
operator and the used module can't know that the operator ist hijacked.
I know that this bug is probably not fixable, which is a pity because
the provided syntax is very nice.
Therefore I want it to survive, but in another namespace: Acme.
