Actually, I started this, myself, a while ago... only (in order to avoid certain baddnesses of blowing up @ARGV to impossibly stupidly large proportions) it went a little more like this: 
package r;
use strict;
use File::Spec;

tie @ARGV, 'r::Tie::RecursiveARGVArray', @ARGV;

sub import {
}


package r::Tie::RecursiveARGVArray;
use Tie::Array;
use base 'Tie::StdArray';

sub TIEARRAY {
    my ($classname,@init) = @_;
    bless [@init], $classname;
}

sub FETCH {
    # magic here to explode directory contents if -d
}

# etc

So that @ARGV didn't actually get enormous... it just added items to the front as while (<>) { implicitly unshift'd stuff off it.

You can tell by the way that it starts that, actually, 

perl -mr -e ...

was sufficient (who's got time for the shift key, anyway?). Too bad I never finished... coulda been a neat CPAN contribution... oh, well. Maybe someday, if no one runs off from reading these posts and implements it before I have time to finish it.
