Title Body

I'm simply trying to get a list of filenames given a path with wildcard. my $path = "/foo/bar/*/*.txt"; my @file_list = glob($path); foreach $current_file (@file_list) { print "\n- $current_file"; } Mostly this works perfectly, but if there's a file greater than 2GB, somewhere in one of the /foo/bar/* subpaths, the glob returns an empty array without any error or warning. If I remove the file file or add a character/bracket sequence like this: my $path = "/foo/bar/*[0-9]/*.txt"; or my $path = "/foo/bar/*1/*.txt"; then the glob works again. UPDATE: Here's an example (for a matter of business policy I had to mask the pathname): [root]/foo/bar # ls -lrt drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Oct 11 2006 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Dec 27 2007 abc*** drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Nov 12 15:32 cde*** -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2734193149 Nov 15 05:07 archive1.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 6913743 Nov 16 05:05 archive2.tar.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Nov 16 10:00 fgh*** [root]/foo/bar # /home/user/test.pl [root]/foo/bar # Removing the >2GB file (or globbing with "/foo/bar/[acf] / " istead of "/foo/bar/ / ") [root]/foo/bar # ls -lrt drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Oct 11 2006 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Dec 27 2007 abc*** drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Nov 12 15:32 cde*** -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 6913743 Nov 16 05:05 archive2.tar.gz drwxr-xr-x 2 root system 256 Nov 16 10:00 fgh*** [root]/foo/bar # /home/user/test.pl - /foo/bar/abc***/heapdump.phd.gz - /foo/bar/cde***/javacore.txt.gz - /foo/bar/fgh***/s
