 A module that implements DOS-like globbing with a few enhancements.

+It is largely compatible with perlglob.exe (the M$ setargv.obj

 You may have to double the backslashes if you are putting them in
 literally, due to double-quotish parsing of the pattern by perl.
 
-When invoked as a program, it will print null-separated filenames
-to standard output.
-
-While one may replace perlglob.exe with this, usage by overriding
-CORE::glob via importation should be much more efficient, because
-it avoids launching a separate process, and is therefore strongly
-recommended.  Note that it is currently possible to override
-builtins like glob() only on a per-package basis, not "globally".
-Thus, every namespace that wants to override glob() must explicitly
-request the override.  See L<perlsub>.
+Spaces in the argument delimit distinct patterns, so
+C<glob('*.exe *.dll')> globs all filenames that end in C<.exe>
+or C<.dll>.  If you want to put in literal spaces in the glob
+pattern, you can escape them with either double quotes, or backslashes.
+e.g. C<glob('c:/"Program Files"/*/*.dll')>, or
+C<glob('c:/Program\ Files/*/*.dll')>.  The argument is tokenized using
+C<Text::ParseWords::parse_line()>, so see L<Text::ParseWords> for details
+of the quoting rules used.
 
 Extending it to csh patterns is left as an exercise to the reader.
