You might try something like:

my %Cmd;
{
   no strict 'vars';  # you have a 'use strict;' line, right?
   %Cmd = do ("db/$name" . 'Cmd.pm');
}

[Jenda]

%Cmd = do ("db/${name}Cmd.pm");

Or even

#!/usr/bin/perl

my %cmds = map { (/(.*)Cmd/) => { do $_ } } <*Cmd.pm>;

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%cmds;

$ cat *Cmd.pm ; ./832111.pl 
%barCmd = (     # barCmd.pm
    BAR => 99,
    # ...       
);
%fooCmd = (     # fooCmd.pm
    FOO => 42,
    # ...
);
$VAR1 = {
          'bar' => {
                     'BAR' => 99
                   },
          'foo' => {
                     'FOO' => 42
                   }
        };
