Sold!

Some years ago in the Perl world, they solved this by making regular old
perl.exe not expand wildcards on Windows, but also supplying perlglob.exe
which did.

Don't know what they're doing today, but they apparently changed their minds
at least once, as the couple-years-old version of perl.exe on my machine
does do wildcard expansion, and does the wrong (i.e., the Windows <wink>)
thing.
