Hi,

Yes, other than this it builds flawlessly.

The issue itself manifests in the grep call, not in glob, but I tried
using `quotemeta` only for grep without success (probably because I didn't
know how to properly call `quotemeta` over @logs.
This is the first time I do anything in perl beyond adding some simple tap
tests, so this could be me not knowing how to deal with it properly. I used
this small script to understand perl's behaviour:
```
$ cat a.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @prefix = '~/postgres+XXXX/001_pgbench_log_2.20745';
my @quoted_prefix = quotemeta(@prefix);
my @found1 = grep(/^@prefix\.\d+(\.\d+)?$/, "@prefix.20745");
my @found2 = grep(/^@prefix\.\d+(\.\d+)?$/, "@quoted_prefix.20745");
my @found3 = grep(/^@quoted_prefix\.\d+(\.\d+)?$/, "@prefix.20745");
my @found4 = grep(/^@quoted_prefix\.\d+(\.\d+)?$/, "@quoted_prefix.20745");
print "1: @found1\n";
print "2: @found2\n";
print "3: @found3\n";
print "4: @found4\n";
$ perl a.pl
1:
2:
3:
4: 1.20745
```
