[ID 19991023.001] glob failure with large directory
Message ID:
199910231258.GAA27362@denali.brtt.com
This is a bug report for perl from danq@brtt.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00502.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]
The following script failed for a directory with 5,251 entries:
#!/opt/antelope/perl/bin/perl
@a = glob("$ARGV[0]/*") ;
$a = @a ;
print "$a entries : first is $a[0]\n" ;
The directory contains many files, all of a similar format:
% ls split | wc
5251 5251 141970
% ls split | head
