in reply to perl glob

Normally this globbing would be handled by the shell, so your two commands would be 

perl wrapper.pl *.ws

[download]
and 
perl wrapper.pl test_*.ws

[download]
Leaving your script to work its way through @ARGV and process files.

To make it even simpler, you could just replace wrapper.pl with converter.pl, unless the wrapper script is doing something that you haven't shown here.
