# NAME

glob - expand filenames using wildcards

# SYNOPSIS

glob EXPR

glob

# DESCRIPTION

In list context, returns a (possibly empty) list of filename expansions on the value of EXPR such as the standard Unix shell /bin/csh would do. In scalar context, glob iterates through such filename expansions, returning undef when the list is exhausted. 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 the perlop manpage.

Beginning with v5.6.0, this operator is implemented using the standard `File::Glob` extension. See the File::Glob manpage for details.
