=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 explictly 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 /

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 with compiling
the regex.

=back

=head1 BUGS

The code uses qr// to produce compiled regexes, therefore this module
requires perl version 5.005_03 or newer.
