Re: Strange problem with glob <>

Okies... yeah ..later I changed it to glob() and it worked, but I was little
bit concerned why it works with switch module. Nevertheless, I have had
wierd troubles with Switch module in past ...

Thanks

Use strictures and warnings, and you'll probably see that <$pat> is
being interpreted as an attempt to read from a file. Use glob($pat)
instead.

The Switch module evidently installs a source filter that has some
strange effects on Perl code. I advise avoiding it.
