I used readdir and a regex match. The glob is probably also about as fast
with a current version of Perl that doesn't fork a shell to do the glob,
though. I learned my aversion to using globs in Perl back when they
involved forking an external csh binary, and probably should get over it.

Yeah, it's redundant unless you do something weird like copy a lab around
without preserving timestamps. But it seems harmless to stick it in there
for the hell of it while I'm creating a file anyway.
BTW, the parallel bits needed a fair bit of massaging to restore the
previous error handling capabilities. (I hope I got all of that right; I
didn't create a failing collect script to test that. I probably should
devise some way to do that in the test suite.)
