in thread glob an array?

What did I miss?

    It's possible to implement it without a regex.

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
      Fun, our regex solutions are practically identical. :)

      But should be noted that real file globs are far more complicated to translate.

      They could include classes and ranges [ab-c] , alternativs {a,b,c} and all of this could be escaped.

      choroba, I enjoyed your code! - well written++.

      One issue that hasn't been discussed is case sensitivity. On my Win10 machine, file glob will be case insensitive. It is possible to create a Windows NTFS partition with filename case sensitivity. I've never done it, but such a thing is in theory possible. I don't what Perl file glob would do in that case or what it does on Unix?
