=head1 NAME
Text::Glob - match globbing patterns against text
=head1 SYNOPSIS
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/;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
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.
=head2 Routines
=over
=item match_glob( $glob, @things_to_test )
Returns the list of things which match the glob from the source list.
=item glob_to_regex( $glob )
Returns a compiled regex which is the equivalent of the globbing
pattern.
=item glob_to_regex_string( $glob )
Returns a regex string which is the equivalent of the globbing
pattern.
=back
=head1 SYNTAX
The following metacharacters and rules are respected.
=over
=item C<*> - match zero or more characters
C<a*> matches C<a>, C<aa>, C<aaaa> and many many more.
=item C<?> - match exactly one character
C<a?> matches C<aa>, but not C<a>, or C<aaa>
=item Character sets/ranges
C<example.[ch]> matches C<example.c> and C<example.h>
C<demo.[a-c]> matches C<demo.a>, C<demo.b>, and C<demo.c>
=item alternation
C<example.{foo,bar,baz}> matches C<example.foo>, C<example.bar>, and
C<example.baz>
=item leading . must be explicitly matched
C<*.foo> does not match C<.bar.foo>. For this you must either specify
the leading . in the glob pattern (C<.*.foo>), or set
C<$Text::Glob::strict_leading_dot> to a false value while compiling
the regex.
=item C<*> and C<?> do not match the seperator (i.e. do not match C</>)
C<*.foo> does not match C<bar/baz.foo>. For this you must either
explicitly match the / in the glob (C<*/*.foo>), or set
C<$Text::Glob::strict_wildcard_slash> to a false value while compiling
the regex, or change the seperator that Text::Glob uses by setting
C<$Text::Glob::seperator> to an alternative value while compiling the
the regex.
=back
=head1 BUGS
The code uses qr// to produce compiled regexes, therefore this module
requires perl version 5.005_03 or newer.
