Hi Dan.
For this particular case you can convert the glob expression
into a regex as follows:
my $re = q|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|;
($re = quotemeta $re) =~ s/\\\*/.*/g;
which escapes all regex metacharacters and then replaces all
escaped asterisks with dot-star to replace glob's star
functionality. Then you can do this:
my $str = q|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|;
print ( $str =~ $re ? "Match\n" : "Mismatch\n" );
