This is not turn key code, but hopefully it will provide some guidance.
Some problems:
I don't understand your pattern, it doesn't look perlish.
Certainly comment out test data generation.
There will be problems if input files have different sizes.
This uses my current favorite Path::Tiny but could be adopted to others. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

# http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1198355

use strict;
use warnings;
use Path::Tiny;
use Storable qw(nstore retrieve);

my $column = 1;                              # these could be passed i
+n...
my $filepattern = qr/(thing.*).foo__bar_ar/;
my $projectdirectory = './some';

# make test data

path("$projectdirectory/$_")->mkpath for qw( one two/three );
nstore [[1.34, 2.53], [3.26, 4.001]], "$projectdirectory/one/thing1.fo
+o__bar_ar";
nstore [[5.55, 6.911], [7.373, 8.808]],
  "$projectdirectory/two/three/thing3.foo__bar_ar";

# end make test data

my @answer;
my $header = 'Number';

path($projectdirectory)->visit( sub
  {
  my ($path) = @_;
  /$filepattern/ or return;
  $header .= ", $1";
  my $arrayref = retrieve($path);
  my $number = 0;
  $answer[$number++] .= ", " . $_->[$column] for @$arrayref;
  },
  { recurse => 1 }
  );

my $number = 1;
$_ = $number++ . "$_\n" for @answer;

print "$header\n", @answer;
