GatherDir uses exclude_filename as a regex, causing files to be excluded incorrectly [rt.cpan.org #81492]

For example, try excluding MANIFEST while including MANIFEST.SKIP.
Because the match is done as an unanchored regex, the latter will be
incorrectly excluded. If exclude_filename is really going to be a regex,
then what's the point of match? To match the behaviour described in the
docs, the match must be against the whole filename.
