Package: perl-base
Version: 5.24.1-3+deb9u2
Severity: normal
In the one argument form of File::Glob::bsd_glob, the default flags
are not documented. They appear to be GLOB_CSH, although the
documentation for GLOB_NOCASE talks about different behaviour on OSX,
ie the one argument form looks to be nearly equivalent to:
$homedir = bsd_glob('~gnat', GLOB_CSH); # !OSX
or
$homedir = bsd_glob('~gnat', GLOB_CSH | GLOB_NOCASE); # OSX
This has supposedly been fixed, but since I don't have the git tree handy, I
can't check what the supposed fix is:
