It +is largely compatible with perlglob.exe (the Microsoft setargv.obj +version) in all but one respect--it understands wildcards in +directory components. + +It prints null-separated filenames to standard output. + +For details of the globbing features implemented, see +L<File::DosGlob>. + +While one may replace perlglob.exe with this, usage by overriding +CORE::glob with File::DosGlob::glob should be much more efficient, +because it avoids launching a separate process, and is therefore +strongly recommended.
