+=head1 NAME
+
+Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::RequireGlobFunction - Use C<glob q{*}> instead of <*>.
+
+=head1 AFFILIATION
+
+This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic> distribution.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Conway discourages the use of the C< <..> > construct for globbing, as
+it is easily confused with the angle bracket file input operator.
+Instead, he recommends the use of the C<glob()> function as it makes
+it much more obvious what you're attempting to do.
+
+ @files = <*.pl>; # not ok
+ @files = glob( "*.pl" ); # ok
+
+
+=head1 CONFIGURATION
+
+This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
