Bug#2240: Perl filename globbing fails silently without csh



Package: perl
Version: 5.002-3

Perl filename globbing fails silently if /bin/csh is not present.  I'd
argue that either perl should require csh, or that perl should
recommend csh and signal an error if /bin/csh cannot be executed.

[if /bin/csh is not installed]
$ perl -e 'print <*>'

[if /bin/csh is installed]
$ perl -e 'print <*>'
