To be honest, the only time I've seen glob() used was with an outsourced code bomb that was written to delete all the code if a get variable (think it was delete_everything) was passed, presumably in case we didn't pay up.<p>We paid, and surprisingly didn't choose to ask for any more work from that particular coder ;)<p>I like the example of sys_getloadavg(), but am unsure if I'd ever use it...
