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";
