This is the README file for File::BSDGlob, a Perl module that provides globbing with the option of full csh(1) compatibility.
This is version 0.94. See the "Changes" file for bug fixes and new features in this release.
Perl Version 5.004_04 is required to use this module.
Anyone who needs to use Perl's csh(1) compatible globbing in a secure fashion (through perl's -T option) or where csh(1) is not available will find this module most useful.
See the POD in BSDGlob.pm for more details.
To use File::BSDGlob, you need the following Perl Version 5.004_04 or greater on a platform supported by MakeMaker (most Unix platforms and a few others).
HELP SAVE THE WORLD!!! I would like this module to work on as many platforms as possible. There are still some issues with the Win32 family that need resolving. I have not received much input at all from the others.
Install File::BSDGlob by running the following commands
gzip -dc File-BSDGlob-0.94.tar.gz | tar xvf -
cd File-BSDGlob-0.94
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install
Please send any suggestions, bug reports, complaints, et cetera to Greg Bacon <gbacon@cs.uah.edu>.
Nathan Torkington <gnat@frii.com> wrote the original Glob::BSD module which is based on Guido van Rossum's FreeBSD glob library. Further modifications have been made by Greg Bacon <gbacon@cs.uah.edu>.
