File glob. Returns an array of filenames which match the regex /*\.bak$/ - basically those that end in .bak This is a very Unix like feature of Perl, which avoids having to use opendir/readdir/closedir much of the time. Useful when you get RSI, and want to use Perl shortcuts. Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
