Sure, read from <example*.txt>. See perlman:perlop for details (second page).

    Is there a way to get back what that * was equal to? This looks nice and tidy and convenient, but I'll need the * for later, so I was just wondering.

    Update - Oh. <example*.txt> returns the filenames which map it, not the text of the files themselves. Something just didn't click the first time I read this.
