well sure, but you know the song "don't reinvent the wheel" and I doubt I'm the first one using it.

I also had to realize that there are many "glob" dialects around, so I first had to analyze what Perl's file glob is doing.

To my surprise (and horror) I noticed that <KSR*> will match case insensitive on Win (eg Ksr_1 ) while being case sensitive on Linux. That's a portability issue IMHO.

And globbing in the file explorer won't have any idea of character classes.

Hence I don't even have a clear picture what the requirements should be for a reimplementation, or if Text::Glob is even patchable.
