Bug#881892: perl-base: File::Glob(3perl) bsd_glob does not document DEFAULT_FLAGS

[Tim Connors]

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:
