Could someone please direct me to some web pages where I can go

example is deprecated or not. I once saw:
@files = <$path_to_directory>
on the web and found it worked perfectly, then kept using this way of
writing my perl script. But I was told yesterday such a script is
deprecated now.
AFAIK that is not deprecated.
Can you explain how it works?
It is a file glob that returns a list of file names. If
$path_to_directory contains '/path/to/file' then:
@files = <$path_to_directory>
is the same as saying:
@files = '/path/to/file'
Whereas if $path_to_directory contains '/path/to/*' then @files will be
assigned a list of non-hidden file names.
perldoc -f glob
perldoc File::Glob
perldoc File::DosGlob
