in reply to Declaring and checking content of variables with consecutive names

Don't.

The usual approach is to either use an array, @str, or a hash, %str.

Access them as:

my @str; $str[0] = ''; $str[1] = ''; ... $str[99] = ''; print join ",", @str;

or for the hash version:

my %str; $str{0} = ''; $str{1} = ''; ... $str{99} = ''; print join ",", map {$str{$_}} 0..99;
