glob
glob expr
Performs filename expansion (globbing) on
expr, returning the next successive
name on each call. If expr is omitted,
$_ is globbed 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.
