I am not sure I follow;

The client place a file on the server daily, to grab the current file you
need to use a datestamp "20061030" and then they have a sequence number the
changes with no rhyme or reason. if I do 20061030* from the command line I
get my file. if I try to do this in perl, it fails to find the file. the *
is not being interpreted as a wild card. I am not sure why?

Thanks
