=head1 NAME

File::DosGlob - DOS like globbing and then some

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    require 5.004;
    
    # override CORE::glob in current package
    use File::DosGlob 'glob';
    
    # override CORE::glob in ALL packages (use with extreme caution!)
    use File::DosGlob 'GLOBAL_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?>"

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A module that implements DOS-like globbing with a few enhancements.
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.

Spaces in the argument delimit distinct patterns, so
C<glob('*.exe *.dll')> globs all filenames that end in C<.exe>
or C<.dll>.  If you want to put in literal spaces in the glob
pattern, you can escape them with either double quotes, or backslashes.
e.g. C<glob('c:/"Program Files"/*/*.dll')>, or
C<glob('c:/Program\ Files/*/*.dll')>.  The argument is tokenized using
C<Text::ParseWords::parse_line()>, so see L<Text::ParseWords> for details
of the quoting rules used.

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

=head1 BUGS

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

=item *

Support for globally overriding glob() (GSAR 3-JUN-98)

=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)

=item *

Initial version (GSAR 20-FEB-97)
