I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Hi Micha,

It sounds like you want "*_wm_*.png *_wm_*.jpg *_wm_*.tif" on the command line. However, you won't be able to use the -r option when processing files with specific names like this.

Re: use in a batch
What I have suggested will work on Mac/Linux, but apparently Windows handles wildcards differently. There should be a similar method that would work for Windows.

Re: use in a batch
I'm duplicating this post because it went to the wrong thread:

An alternative is to add a -if option to your original command, so it looks something like this:

... -ext png -ext jpg -ext tif -if "$filename =~ /_wm_/" ...
