=head1 NAME

File::DosGlob - DOS like globbing and then some

perlglob.bat - a more capable perlglob.exe replacement

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    require 5.004;
    
    # override CORE::glob in current package
    use File::DosGlob 'glob';
    
    @perlfiles = glob  "..\\pe?l/*.p?";
    print <..\\pe?l/*.p?>;
    
    # from the command line (overrides only in main::)
    > perl -MFile::DosGlob=glob -e "print <../pe*/*p?>"
    
    > perlglob ../pe*/*p?

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A module that implements DOS-like globbing with a few enhancements.
This file is also a portable replacement for perlglob.exe.  It
is largely compatible with perlglob.exe (the M$ setargv.obj
version) in all but one respect--it understands wildcards in
directory components.

For example, C<<..\\l*b\\file/*glob.p?>> will work as expected (in
that it will find something like '..\lib\File/DosGlob.pm' alright).
Note that all path components are case-insensitive, and that
backslashes and forward slashes are both accepted, and preserved.
You may have to double the backslashes if you are putting them in
literally, due to double-quotish parsing of the pattern by perl.

When invoked as a program, it will print null-separated filenames
to standard output.

While one may replace perlglob.exe with this, usage by overriding
CORE::glob via importation should be much more efficient, because
it avoids launching a separate process, and is therefore strongly
recommended.  Note that it is currently possible to override
builtins like glob() only on a per-package basis, not "globally".
Thus, every namespace that wants to override glob() must explicitly
request the override.  See L<perlsub>.

Extending it to csh patterns is left as an exercise to the reader.

=head1 EXPORTS (by request only)

glob()

=head1 BUGS

Should probably be built into the core, and needs to stop
pandering to DOS habits.  Needs a dose of optimizium too.

=item *

Scalar context, independent iterator context fixes (GSAR 15-SEP-97)

=item *

A few dir-vs-file optimizations result in glob importation being
10 times faster than using perlglob.exe, and using perlglob.bat is
only twice as slow as perlglob.exe (GSAR 28-MAY-97)

=item *

Several cleanups prompted by lack of compatible perlglob.exe
under Borland (GSAR 27-MAY-97)
