```

This returns no files:
```
my $image_name = quotemeta('Screenshot-2024-02-23-at-1.05.14 AM');
my $files = $wac->get_all_files_in_dir($dir . '/uploads', qr/$image_name.*\.png$/);
```

Note the space in the file name before AM.

This also returns no files:
```
my $image_name = quotemeta('Screenshot-2024-02-23-at-1.05.14\s*AM');
my $files = $wac->get_all_files_in_dir($dir . '/uploads', qr/$image_name.*\.png$/);
```

I tried with and without quotemeta and with and without /Q /E to no avail.

Is it possible the space is some kind of invisible UTF8 character? This is driving me nuts.

**UPDATE:** I jumped on regex101.com and copied and pasted in the file name from the terminal and indeed there appears to be some kind of hidden character that is not whitespace:

Did a hex dump of the string:
