I still cannot figure out what is going on. There seems to be two issues:

From looking at the verbose log, when there's a .stow-global-ignore, ~/.stow-global-ignore seems to be ignored.
When I have .*\.env in both files, it still does not get ignored.

...
  Using ignore file: ../../.dotfiles/.bin/scripts/.stow-local-ignore
    Using memoized regexps from ../../.dotfiles/.bin/scripts/.stow-local-ignore
    Ignore list regexp for paths:    /(?^:(^|/)(^/\.stow\-local\-ignore$)(/|$))/
    Ignore list regexp for segments: /(?^:^(src|.*\.env|dir_colors)$)/
  Not ignoring dynu.sh
Stowing ../../.dotfiles/.bin / scripts / dynu.sh
  => ../../.dotfiles/.bin/scripts/dynu.sh
  is_a_link(dynu.sh)
  link_task_action(dynu.sh): link task exists with action remove
  is_a_link(dynu.sh): returning 0 (remove action found)
  is_a_node(dynu.sh)
  link_task_action(dynu.sh): link task exists with action remove
  dir_task_action(dynu.sh): no task
LINK: dynu.sh => ../../.dotfiles/.bin/scripts/dynu.sh (reverts previous action)

I confirm the problem.

The .stow-local-ignore rules override the .stow-global-ignore rules. The ideal would be a mix of the two files.

I found out where the bug is. I need some time to figure it out.

It's not about asking specific questions about perl, but understanding the behavior of the functions used by stow. This code snippet is responsible for validating the rules of the ignore files, but it needs to be understood and understood how the other dependent functions use it and adjusted to include more than 1 value when there is more than 1 file.

Can anybody else confirm that ~/.stow-global-ignore doesn't work? Does anybody know if it worked in any previous versions? I could consider downgrading to an earlier version if it doesn't have the issues of the current version and if that version doesn't lack any features that I use.

The root of the problem is apparently here (line 1290). It returns the first rule it finds. the ideal would be to end the file checking loop while concatenating what exists.

What prevents this from being quickly fixed by me is time and experience with perl. I'm just a perl hobbyist. And I happen to use stow extensively as well. I hope to fix it soon or maybe some collaborator will help with this too.
