There are certainly limitations to the home-grown glob() on VMS.  It
basically just converts the '?' wildcard to '%' and calls
LIB$FIND_FILE.  See Perl_start_glob() in doio.c.  Also relevant is
trim_unixpath() in [.vms]vms.c, which makes a very modest attempt to
pick apart the pieces of a Unix path spec containing wildcards and
put them back together again.
