This one stummped me.  I wanted to create a tar of my makefiles so I 
used find.

I wanted OURmakefile and OURmakefile.TEMPLATE.  I could not use a 
standard wildcard because I'd pull in svn files.

To get the wildcard for find I tried many differences of the following 
with no luck.

[DEVEL PERL]$ ls OURmakefil[{e},{e.TEMPLATE}]
OURmakefile
[DEVEL PERL]$

[DEVEL PERL]$ ls -l OURmakefile*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cfowler cfowler 3203 Mar 25 21:53 OURmakefile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cfowler cfowler   63 Mar 21 13:16 OURmakefile.inc
-rw-rw-r-- 1 cfowler cfowler  563 Mar 26 15:29 OURmakefile.TEMPLATE
[DEVEL PERL]$


Ignore .inc

So what is the secret sauce?
