| Globs and Regexps
                          A number of WebMake parameters and perl APIs support pattern matching.
                          This is performed using glob patterns and regular expressions.
                          
                         Glob Patterns
                          These are more-or-less traditional shell- or MS-DOS-like globs, as follows:
                          
                         
                           
                            
                              
                                | * | matches any number of characters except/ |  
                                | ... | matches any number of characters, including/ |  
                                | ? | matches one character |  
                          Note that traditional globs do not include ...; this is a WebMake
                          extension (well, the concept's nicked from Perforce ;)
                          
                         
                          This is the default mode of matching. Example globs are:
                          *.html, .../*.txt.
                          
                         Regular Expressions
                          These are perl-style regular expressions. They are differentiated
                          from glob patterns by prefixing them with RE:, for example:
                          RE:^.*\.html$. 
                          An introduction to regular expressions is beyond the scope of this
                          documentation. For more details, check your perl documentation, or search the
                          web.
