But I would like to pass all the below files only; j*.1.txt j*.3.txt j*.a.txt etc..
These examples all have only 1 character between the dots. If you just want that then you can amend the glob to look for that:
my @files = <data/j*.?.txt>;
OTOH, if you want to pass arbitrary globbing patterns you could do that in @ARGV but you'll need to quote them on invocation.
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my @files = <data/j*.*.txt>;
if (@ARGV) {
@files = map { <data/$_> } @ARGV;
}
print "Using @files";
$ ./gt.pl
Found data/j.a.txt data/j.foo.txt data/j.xyz.txt
$ ./gt.pl 'j*.?.txt'
Using j*.?.txt instead
Found data/j.a.txt
See map for more on its usage.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
