converts wildcard expressions to Perl regular expressions

In many situations, users may want to specify patterns to match but don't need the full power of regexps. Wildcards make one of those sets of simplified rules. Regexp::Wildcards converts wildcard expressions to Perl regular expressions, so that you can use them for matching.

It handles the * and ? wildcards, as well as Unix bracketed alternatives {,}, but also % and _ SQL wildcards. If required, it can also keep original (...) groups or ^ and $ anchors. Backslash (\) is used as an escape character.

Typesets that mimic the behaviour of Windows and Unix shells are also provided.
