You can use anything you like in ARGV, but Perl won't assume anything about
the parameters. To do file globbing you have to say:
@files = glob ($ARGV[0]);
or, if you expect mutiple wildcarded filenames:
@files = ();
push @files, glob foreach @ARGV;

Exactly as you have written, which is fine, although depending on what
you're doing you may want to expand the wildcards as above and then:
get_file(@files);
get_match(@files);
which you can then access within the subroutine as:
sub get_file
{
my @files = @_;
:
}
