If you run myscript * the * will be replaced by the shell before running your script, so the parameters your script will actually see will be as if the script had been run using myscript file1 file2 file3 ....
You can only avoid this by turning off the shell's globbing features, or by protecting the parameters using quotes.
Similarly *) has special meaning in case statement; it matches any sequence of any character. Try '*') instead.

NAME
pkg::create - Construct an appropriate 'package ifneeded' command for a given package specification
SYNOPSIS
::pkg::create -name packageName -version packageVersion ?-load filespec? ... ?-source filespec? ...
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
::pkg::create is a utility procedure that is part of the standard Tcl library. It is used to create an appropriate package ifneeded com-
mand for a given package specification. It can be used to construct a pkgIndex.tcl file for use with the package mechanism.
OPTIONS
The parameters supported are:
-name packageName
This parameter specifies the name of the package. It is required.
-version packageVersion
This parameter specifies the version of the package. It is required.
-load filespec
This parameter specifies a binary library that must be loaded with the load command. filespec is a list with two elements. The
first element is the name of the file to load. The second, optional element is a list of commands supplied by loading that file.
If the list of procedures is empty or omitted, ::pkg::create will set up the library for direct loading (see pkg_mkIndex). Any num-
ber of -load parameters may be specified.
-source filespec
This parameter is similar to the -load parameter, except that it specifies a Tcl library that must be loaded with the source com-
mand. Any number of -source parameters may be specified.
At least one -load or -source parameter must be given.
