| Subject: | please use File::Glob |
Hello,
The standard glob() reacts very strangely with spaces in string. This is
definitively no what cp -rf do.
"c:/program files/*" gives "c:/program"
This is an example of the standard glob() and different glob alternatives.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Glob;
use File::Dosglob;
use Data::Dumper;
my $toto = 'c:/program files/*';
print "glob\n";
print Dumper(glob($toto));
print "File::Glob::glob\n";
print Dumper(File::Glob::glob($toto));
print "File::Glob::bsd_glob\n";
print Dumper(File::Glob::bsd_glob($toto));

Can you please replace the glob() call by File::Glob::bsd_glob() or
provide a way to select the preferred option.
