Ok, I can glob() ...
perl -e "use File::DosGlob qw(glob);print glob('test.*')" # works ok!!
but I can not replace (my syntax is incorrect but where) ...
perl -e "use File::DosGlob qw(glob);'s/CONSTANT/VARIABLE/' glob('test.*')" #
does not work -- compilation error ...
??

Windows does not expand the wildcard in your filename like the Unix/Linux
shells do. There is a glob hack that you can use to do that expansion.

I am happy that it works with double quotes BUT now, when I try to get all
files in a directory with a certain extension, the following does not work ...
perl -p -i.bak -e "'s/CONSTANT/VARIABLE/'" C:\*.txt
does not like th leading * in the file name when I try to pull all .txt files
...
Help again.

What version of Windows? The last time I used Windows was XP and it would see
single quotes as:
perl -p -i.bak -e "'s/CONSTANT/VARIABLE/'" C:\test.txt
which, of course, don't work.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
