Re: Windows paths in glob


Quoth Gunnar Hjalmarsson <noreply@xxxxxxxxx>:

A long time ago I decided to use opendir() and readdir() instead of
glob(). It may not be as 'elegant', but it works flawlessly without
escaping spaces.

To save Uri the trouble of pointing it out :), File::Slurp now has a
read_dir function.
