-File::Glob implements the FreeBSD glob(3) routine, which is a superset

-glob() routine takes a mandatory C<pattern> argument, and an optional
+File::Glob::bsd_glob() implements the FreeBSD glob(3) routine, which is
+a superset of the POSIX glob() (described in IEEE Std 1003.2 "POSIX.2").
+bsd_glob() takes a mandatory C<pattern> argument, and an optional
C<flags> argument, and returns a list of filenames matching the
pattern, with interpretation of the pattern modified by the C<flags>
-variable. The POSIX defined flags are:
+variable.
+
+Since v5.6.0, Perl's CORE::glob() is implemented in terms of bsd_glob().
+Note that they don't share the same prototype--CORE::glob() only accepts
+a single argument. Due to historical reasons, CORE::glob() will also
+split its argument on whitespace, treating it as multiple patterns,
+whereas bsd_glob() considers them as one pattern.
+
+The POSIX defined flags for bsd_glob() are:

=item C<GLOB_ERR>
-Force glob() to return an error when it encounters a directory it
-cannot open or read. Ordinarily glob() continues to find matches.

+
+Make bsd_glob() return an error (GLOB_NOSPACE) when the pattern expands
+to a size bigger than the system constant C<ARG_MAX> (usually found in
+limits.h). If your system does not define this constant, bsd_glob() uses
+C<sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)> or C<_POSIX_ARG_MAX> where available (in that
+order). You can inspect these values using the standard C<POSIX>
+extension.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
-glob() returns a list of matching paths, possibly zero length. If an
+bsd_glob() returns a list of matching paths, possibly zero length. If an
error occurred, &File::Glob::GLOB_ERROR will be non-zero and C<$!> will be
set. &File::Glob::GLOB_ERROR is guaranteed to be zero if no error occurred,
or one of the following values otherwise:
=back
-In the case where glob() has found some matching paths, but is
-interrupted by an error, glob() will return a list of filenames B<and>
+In the case where bsd_glob() has found some matching paths, but is
+interrupted by an error, it will return a list of filenames B<and>
set &File::Glob::ERROR.

-not considering C<ENOENT> and C<ENOTDIR> as errors - glob() will
+Note that bsd_glob() deviates from POSIX and FreeBSD glob(3) behaviour
+by not considering C<ENOENT> and C<ENOTDIR> as errors - bsd_glob() will

set.

-If you want to use multiple patterns, e.g. C<glob "a* b*">, you should
-probably throw them in a set as in C<glob "{a*,b*}>. This is because
-the argument to glob isn't subjected to parsing by the C shell. Remember
-that you can use a backslash to escape things.

+
+Mac OS (Classic) users should note a few differences. Since
+Mac OS is not Unix, when the glob code encounters a tilde glob (e.g.
+~user) and the C<GLOB_TILDE> flag is used, it simply returns that
+pattern without doing any expansion.
+
+Glob on Mac OS is case-insensitive by default (if you don't use any
+flags). If you specify any flags at all and still want glob
+to be case-insensitive, you must include C<GLOB_NOCASE> in the flags.
+
+The path separator is ':' (aka colon), not '/' (aka slash). Mac OS users
+should be careful about specifying relative pathnames. While a full path
+always begins with a volume name, a relative pathname should always
+begin with a ':'. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is
+required.
+
+The specification of pathnames in glob patterns adheres to the usual Mac
+OS conventions: The path separator is a colon ':', not a slash '/'. A
+full path always begins with a volume name. A relative pathname on Mac
+OS must always begin with a ':', except when specifying a file or
+directory name in the current working directory, where the leading colon
+is optional. If specifying a volume name only, a trailing ':' is
+required. Due to these rules, a glob like E<lt>*:E<gt> will find all
+mounted volumes, while a glob like E<lt>*E<gt> or E<lt>:*E<gt> will find
+all files and directories in the current directory.
+
+Note that updirs in the glob pattern are resolved before the matching begins,
+i.e. a pattern like "*HD:t?p::a*" will be matched as "*HD:a*". Note also,
+that a single trailing ':' in the pattern is ignored (unless it's a volume
+name pattern like "*HD:"), i.e. a glob like E<lt>:*:E<gt> will find both
+directories I<and> files (and not, as one might expect, only directories).
+You can, however, use the C<GLOB_MARK> flag to distinguish (without a file
+test) directory names from file names.
+
+If the C<GLOB_MARK> flag is set, all directory paths will have a ':' appended.
+Since a directory like 'lib:' is I<not> a valid I<relative> path on Mac OS,
+both a leading and a trailing colon will be added, when the directory name in
+question doesn't contain any colons (e.g. 'lib' becomes ':lib:').
