this 'concerns' me - You are asserting that the windows
command line here passes all the stuff typed at the command line
prompt without any form of 'globbing' at all???
hence
myPerlCode *.xml
would not find all of the *.xml files in that directory????
merely pass in the actual token "*.xml" and it is up to moi
to wanderate my way through them....
