Name
glob
Synopsis
glob expr
Performs filename expansion (globbing) on
expr
, returning the next successive
name on each call. If expr
is omitted,
$_
is glob
bed instead. This is the internal
function implementing the <*>
operator, except that it may
be easier to type this way.
The glob
function is not
related to the Perl notion of typeglobs, other than that they both
use a *
to represent multiple
items.
