Although I don't have a 5.6.0 to check with, 5.6.2 seems to work as advertised. $ perl5.6.2 -dwe ' use File::DosGlob 'GLOBAL_glob'; print glob "*"' Default die handler restored. Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.07 Editor support available. Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help. main::(-e:1): use File::DosGlob GLOBAL_glob; print glob "*" DB<1> As does 5.5.4, 5.8.6 and bleadperl.
