The "glob" function works regardless of Cygwin. It's part of base Perl,
though it _can_ be overridden (and I think typically is, by File::Glob,
though you can use File::DosGlob if you like). "perldoc perlwin32" is my
authority for this.

Your question makes perfect sense to me. You may be displaying a touch of
paranoia, but frankly, I think The World Would Be A Better Place if more
people had your particular brand of paranoia.
