Yep, I realise this, but what I didn't have is an alternative. There's lots of info on de-tainting user input, but basically zero and globbing except to say that it's all tainted <sigh>. > Try using File::Find, that should let you get data in an untainted manner. This is however what I needed to know about, and has solved my problem... thanks.
