Text::Glob - match globbing patterns against text
use Text::Glob qw( match_glob glob_to_regex ); print "matched\n" if match_glob( "foo.*", "foo.bar" ); # prints foo.bar and foo.baz my $regex = glob_to_regex( "foo.*" ); for ( qw( foo.bar foo.baz foo bar ) ) { print "matched: $_\n" if /$regex/; }
Text::Glob implements glob(3) style matching that can be used to match against text, rather than fetching names from a filesystem. If you want to do full file globbing use the File::Glob module instead.
Returns the list of things which match the glob from the source list.
Returns a compiled regex which is the equiavlent of the globbing pattern.
The code uses qr// to produce compiled regexes, therefore this module requires perl version 5.005_03 or newer.
