The error that has already been reported a bit differently (AFAICR)\, is still there with the current snapshot\, rendering file globbing unusable​:

perl -e 'do { glob $_ }' syntax error at /usr/app/lib/perl5/i686-linux/File/Glob.pm line 1\, near "package File​::Glob" Compilation failed in require at -e line 1. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1. [Exit 255]

A real-world example is from gimp-perl​:

  my @​dirs = map {glob $_} split /\s+/\, $dirs;
