This ignores the possibility of escaping wildcards in bash. For example, say you have a file foo*bar. Someone using your script in bash would do

<code> munge.pl foo\*bar <code>

Bash would replace the \* with *, and pass the script the filename foo*bar. You would then expand the wildcard, and fail to find the file.
