=head2 Wildcard expansion
File specifications containing wildcards are allowed both on
-the command line and within Perl globs (e.g. <CE<lt>*.cE<gt>>). If
+the command line and within Perl globs (e.g. C<E<lt>*.cE<gt>>). If
the wildcard filespec uses VMS syntax, the resultant
filespecs will follow VMS syntax; if a Unix-style filespec is
passed in, Unix-style filespecs will be returned.
Perl for VMS supports redirection of input and output on the
command line, using a subset of Bourne shell syntax:
- <F<file> reads stdin from F<file>,
- >F<file> writes stdout to F<file>,
- >>F<file> appends stdout to F<file>,
- 2>F<file> writes stderr to F<file>, and
- 2>>F<file> appends stderr to F<file>.
