AFAIK pstoimg does not use globbing at all. Maybe it's because perl is
handing over the command line to COMMAND.COM when running system()
commands. This could perhaps be avoided if an array of the arguments is
passed instead, i.e. rewrite
system("gswin32c.exe arg1 arg2 arg3");
to
system('gswin32c.exe','arg1','arg2','arg3');
Murat, could you please test if this solves the problem?

I'm running Dr.Solomon on Win98 and so far had no problems with
pstoimg/Ghostscript and the like.
