These 2 lines:
my @b = glob(qq{$path/mp_[0123456789]*.dat
$path/md_[0123456789]*.dat});
from https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=114984 (and now in
ext/File-Glob/t/rt114984.t) now work fine on Linux unless it is compiled
with -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB. In that case, a shell is run instead of F:G,
and the shell thinks the 2nd line is a shell command instead of part of
what to glob.
I am not conversant in all the nuances of what bsd vs csh vs other
shells accept, but I believe this means that F:G is not an accurate
reproducer of what most shells would do with this, and I think it is
meant to be. Zefram on IRC pointed out that shell meta characters are
probably also handled differently than in a real shell.
I'm not sure what to do. The .t can be made to pass on
-DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB systems simply by making the \n into a space.
(This problem was found in testing on z/OS, which is a
PERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB system.)
