Are you using a different version of perl under NT? The DOS shell on
under Windows does not do filename globbing (ie. "*" does not get
expanded). Hence, some ports of perl under Windows handle filename
globbing before executing a Perl program.
Try getting ActivePerl from activestate. It should handling filename
globbing in program arguments and it works under Win9x and NT.
