Hi,
You should think of a glob as an alias.
$input = *STDIN;
$file = <$input>;
print $file;
All that does is alias $input to STDIN, and then read the contents of
$input into $file. The main use of this is redirecting your output without
having to write loads of extra code

GLOB(0x123ab458)
What can you do with that GLOB?
