Some suggestions: 
use strict;
use warnings;

sub zip {
    my $file = shift;
    print "got a zip file $file\n";
}

sub txt {
    my $file = shift;
    print "got a txt file $file\n";
}

my @files = ("a.zip", "b.log", "c.zaaap", "d.txt");

#before you have a particular handler developed,
#you can just set it to undef
my %handlers = ("zip" => \&zip, "zaaap" => undef, "txt" => \&txt);
my $pattern = join("|", map {"\\\.$_\$"} keys %handlers);
print "pattern = $pattern\n";

foreach (grep {/$pattern$/} @files) {
    m/\.([^\.]*)$/;
    if (defined($handlers{$1})) {
        &{$handlers{$1}}($_);
    } else {
        print "No handler defined for $_\n";
    }
}
