Just make new hash keys that reference the original keys' values:
use strict;
use warnings;
my %foo = (
"GENERATE" => "10 14 00 07 4d",
"DELIVER" => "16 75 32 14 77"
);
$foo{CREATE} = \$foo{GENERATE};
$foo{DELIV} = \$foo{DELIVER};
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper \%foo;
However, now you need to de-reference the values to use them:
print ${ $foo{CREATE} }, $/;
I recommend just duplicating the data:
$foo{CREATE} = $foo{GENERATE};
$foo{DELIV} = $foo{DELIVER};
Unless you know you will be dealing with million and millions of hash keys. Clarity is very important. Also, check the CPAN for modules that allow you to alias hash keys.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
