=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::RequireGlobFunction - Use C<glob q{*}> instead of <*>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Conway discourages the use of the C<< <..> >> construct for globbing, as
it is easily confused with the angle bracket file input operator.
Instead, he recommends the use of the C<glob()> function as it makes
it much more obvious what you're attempting to do.

    @files = <*.pl>;              # not ok
    @files = glob '*.pl';         # ok


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
