# NAME

FastGlob - A faster glob() implementation

# VERSION

version 1.5

# SYNOPSIS

```perl

    use FastGlob qw(glob);

    my @list = &glob('*.c');

```

# DESCRIPTION

This module implements globbing in perl, rather than forking a csh.

This is faster than the built-in glob() call, and more robust (on

many platforms, csh chokes on `echo *` if too many files are in the

directory.)

There are several module-local variables that can be set for 

alternate environments, they are listed below with their (UNIX-ish)

defaults.

```

    $FastGlob::dirsep = '/';        # directory path separator

    $FastGlob::rootpat = '\A\Z';    # root directory prefix pattern

    $FastGlob::curdir = '.';        # name of current directory in dir

    $FastGlob::parentdir = '..';    # name of parent directory in dir

    $FastGlob::hidedotfiles = 1;    # hide filenames starting with .

```

So for MS-DOS for example, you could set these to:

```

    $FastGlob::dirsep = '\\';       # directory path separator

    $FastGlob::rootpat = '[A-Z]:';  #  pattern

    $FastGlob::curdir = '.';        # name of current directory in dir

    $FastGlob::parentdir = '..';    # name of parent directory in dir

    $FastGlob::hidedotfiles = 0;    # hide filenames starting with .

```

And for MacOS to:

```

    $FastGlob::dirsep = ':';        # directory path separator

    $FastGlob::rootpat = '\A\Z';    # root directory prefix pattern

    $FastGlob::curdir = '.';        # name of current directory in dir

    $FastGlob::parentdir = '..';    # name of parent directory in dir

    $FastGlob::hidedotfiles = 0;    # hide filenames starting with .

```
