Hello,
while packaging Regexp::Wildcards for Debian I learned about two
issues in the package description, here's the fix:

Wildcards make one of those sets of simplified rules.
This module converts wildcard expressions to Perl regular expressions, so that you can use them for matching.

+It handles the C<*> and C<?> wildcards, as well as Unix bracketed alternatives C<{,}>, but also C<%> and C<_> SQL wildcards.
If required, it can also keep original C<(...)> groups or C<^> and C<$> anchors.
-Backspace (C<\>) is used as an escape character.
+Backslash (C<\>) is used as an escape character.
Typesets that mimic the behaviour of Windows and Unix shells are also provided.
The second should be obvious, about the first: Appearently, the "joker"
word is fairly unusual to describe a wildcard in English, hence the

Consequently, the "jokers" class should be renamed as well, although
the current form should still be renamed to retain compatibility.
See https://bugs.debian.org/912745 for the discussion.
