This response seems naive and insufficient.
It is quite conceivable that I would want to leverage the matching capabilities of glob() -- which, as we all know, are quite different from regex matching -- but I want to apply that matching not to files in a directory (the normal behavior of glob()), but to file names in an array. You did not address how to do that, or whether it is even possible.
In fact, the questioner stated the question just that way:
... is there a way to "glob" the array (i.e. get the list of all
elements matching the glob-pattern) using the same logic "glob"
would use, or would I have to translate the gob-pattern into
a regex and do a grep?
If your answer is that it is not possible to use glob() in that case, and grep() is the only solution, then you should have phrased your answer that way, to correspond to how the question was asked. Your answer gives the impression that you did not really read the question very carefully.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
