glob EXPR
glob

Returns the value of EXPR with filename expansions such as the standard Unix shell /bin/sh would do. This is the internal function implementing the <*.c> operator, but you can use it directly. If EXPR is omitted, $_ is used. The <*.c> operator is discussed in more detail in "I/O Operators" in perlop.
