  @list = glob($path);

      local $File::Glob::Windows::encoding = getCodePage();
      local $File::Glob::Windows::sorttype = 0;
      local $File::Glob::Windows::nocase   = 1;
      @list = glob($path);
  }

DESCRIPTION

This glob routines works correctly on Windows environment.

  • Recognize system's current codepage such as 'cp932', It's multibyte character contains '\\' and '/' and '*' and '?' in second byte.

  • Correctly handles current drive and currend cirectory. MS-DOS derived environments has current directory for each drive. current working directory means current directory on current drive. 'G:' means 'G:.' , not 'G:\'.

  • It differs from perlglob.exe, this glob can include the wild-card specification also in the middle part of path.
