You might also look at 'perldoc -f glob' as well. For example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

for (@ARGV) {
    for (glob) {
        print $_,"\n";
    }
}

This is a quick and dirty basis for any filter...it could probably be 'mapped' into a one-line approach with the name of the 'filter' sub replacing 'print'.
