Here's another way. The "foreach" statement automatically aliases the loop variable to the items in the list, so you could just do:
use strict;
my $varA = "this is varA";
my $varB = "this is varB";
my $varC;
print "\n";
foreach my $f ($varA, $varB, $varC) {
if ( defined $f ) {
print "--- $f \n";
my $tmp = $f . " and some more ";
print "----- $tmp \n";
$f = $tmp;
print "===== $f \n";
}
}
print "\n";
foreach my $f ( $varA, $varB, $varC ) {
print "+ $f \n";
}
print "\n";
