in thread ARGV *.* importing problems

The documentation also says
See File::Glob for details
And if you do, you can see this:
## override the core glob (CORE::glob() does this automatically ## by default anyway, since v5.6.0) use File::Glob ':globally'; my @sources = <*.{c,h,y}>;
But this piece of code does not behave like File::Glob::glob (namely, it does not call bsd_glob instead of glob). The question is: What exactly does CORE::glob automatically since 5.6.0 then?

    Good point, but this brings us back to my original comment that File::Glob is safer. Whether that is how it should be is another question altogether.
