Each pair is an array reference with two elements - namely the I<from>
filename, that C<File::Glob> has matched, and a I<to> filename that is
derived from the I<from> filename.



=head2 Limitations

C<File::GlobMapper> has been kept simple deliberately, so it isn't intended to
solve all filename mapping operations. Under the hood C<File::Glob> (or for
older versions of Perl, C<File::BSDGlob>) is used to match the files, so you
will never have the flexibility of full Perl regular expression.

=head2 Input File Glob

The syntax for an Input FileGlob is identical to C<File::Glob>, except
for the following

=over 5

=item 1.

No nested {}

=item 2.

Whitespace does not delimit fileglobs.

=item 3.

The use of parenthesis can be used to capture parts of the input filename.

=item 4.

If an Input glob matches the same file more than once, only the first
will be used.

=back

The syntax

=over 5

=item B<~>

=item B<~user>


=item B<.>

Matches a literal '.'.
Equivalent to the Perl regular expression

    \.

=item B<*>

Matches zero or more characters, except '/'. Equivalent to the Perl
regular expression

    [^/]*

=item B<?>

Matches zero or one character, except '/'. Equivalent to the Perl
regular expression

    [^/]?

=item B<\>

Backslash is used, as usual, to escape the next character.

=item  B<[]>

Character class.

=item  B<{,}>

Alternation

=item  B<()>

Capturing parenthesis that work just like perl

=back

Any other character it taken literally.

=head2 Output File Glob

The Output File Glob is a normal string, with 2 glob-like features.

The first is the '*' metacharacter. This will be replaced by the complete
filename matched by the input file glob. So

    *.c *.Z
