 *    is automatically expanded by calling Path::expand().
 *
 *    The pattern may contain wildcard expressions even in intermediate
 *    directory names (e.g. /usr/include/<I>*</I> /<I>*</I>*.h).
 *
 *    Note that, for obvious reasons, escaping characters in a pattern
 *    with a backslash does not work in Windows-style paths.
 *
 *    Directories that for whatever reason cannot be traversed are
 *    ignored.
 *
 *    It seems that whatever bug Poco had is fixed now.
 *    So calling Poco::Glob::glob(pathPattern,files,options) inside.

 *    @param files :: The names of the files that match the pattern
 *    @param options :: Options
