How to Process Multiple Files from Wildcard Arguments

To process multiple files from wildcard arguments, use glob() function.

#!/usr/bin/perl
@files = glob("@ARGV");
foreach (@files) {
    print "File: $_\n";
}

Please notice that the @ARGV is surrounded by double quotes. Without double quotes, it will return the count of arguments.

Example:

D:\>process_files.pl test*.pl myperl.pl exec_cmd.pl
File: TestBack.pl
File: TestCSV.pl
File: TestDate.pl
File: myperl.pl
File: exec_cmd.pl
