That's exactly right Wags. As the POD says, CORE::glob uses bsd_glob but additionally splits its parameter on whitespace. It's those pesky historical reasons again. use File::Glob ':glob'; (you don't need the ':globally' unless you're on pre-5.6.0) overrides CORE::glob to do call bsd_glob but without the fancy parameter splitting.
