Newbie : How to exclude particular files from glob()?

[Abhinav]

Hi

I need to do an glob on a Directory, but exclude a set of particular
file starting with "Master" .

Using

my @x = <[!M][!a][!s][!t][!e][!r]*>;

is definitely wrong ..It omits files such as "Faster" too ..

What is the correct way to do it .. ?

Thanks
Abhinav

One way is to filter the list of all files:
my @x = grep !/^Master/, <*>;
