&lt;P&gt;
Returns the value of 
&lt;FONT SIZE=-1&gt;EXPR&lt;/FONT&gt; with filename expansions such as the standard
Unix shell &lt;EM&gt;/bin/sh&lt;/EM&gt; would do. This is the internal function implementing the &lt;CODE&gt;&amp;lt;*.c&amp;gt;&lt;/CODE&gt;
operator, but you can use it directly. If 
&lt;FONT SIZE=-1&gt;EXPR&lt;/FONT&gt; is omitted, &lt;CODE&gt;$_&lt;/CODE&gt; is used. The &lt;CODE&gt;&amp;lt;*.c&amp;gt;&lt;/CODE&gt; operator is discussed in more detail in
[%linkNodeTitle "perlman:perlop|I/O Operators", $NODE, "I/O Operators",{anchor=&gt;"I_O_Operators"};%].
