glob. Obviously, if the first argument is a filehandle of some
sort, it will be read from, and if it is a file I<name> it will
be opened for reading. Likewise, the second argument will be
-written to (and created if need be). If the second argument is
-a file name and specifies an existing directory, and the first
-argument does not specify
+written to (and created if need be).
B<Note that passing in
files as handles instead of names may lead to loss of information
on some operating systems; it is recommended that you use file
-names whenever possible.>
+names whenever possible.> Files are opened in binary mode where

An optional third parameter can be used to specify the buffer
size used for copying. This is the number of bytes from the
