though i didn't figure out your 'bug', i disagree with your calling it a
bug. it is documented behavior and makes sense from an iterator point of
view. the glob function needs to track its own state more then the
expression passed to it so it can iterate over all the expanded
files. this means it won't see new data unless it first hits the end of
the current iteration. so the lesson is to call it in a list context
when you want to force it to always look at new data the next time. but
then again, i never use globs. readdir always works fine and i like the
power of real perl regexes over the pseudo-regexes in globs.
