NAME
    Glob2re - convert glob/wildcard to regular expression

SYNOPSIS
    The module exports one function, glob2re:

        use Glob2re;
        my $re = glob2re($glob);

DESCRIPTION
    The glob2re function converts a Unix-style file-globbing string to a
    regular expression. It is used by the dirlist and hgrep commands.

    Unix-style file-globbing uses "*" to match zero or more characters of
    any type, and "?" to match any single character. Prefix "*" or "?" with
    "\" if you want to use those literally, rather than as a metacharacter.

EXAMPLE
        my $glob = "*.*";
        my $re = glob2re($glob);
