 == Using glob results in "Cannot stat: <list of files>" == #glob
-glob returns a list which is not handled by some commands (e.g. xinstall); instead, wrap the command in an eval.  Instead of
+glob returns a list which is not handled by some commands (e.g. xinstall); instead, use argument expansion, introduced with Tcl 8.5.  Instead of
 {{{
 xinstall -m 644 [glob ${worksrcpath}/docs/*.html] ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}
 }}}
 which fails with the "Cannot stat..." error, instead use
 {{{
-eval xinstall -m 644 [glob ${worksrcpath}/docs/*.html] ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}
+xinstall -m 644 {*}[glob ${worksrcpath}/docs/*.html] ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${subport}
 }}}
