in reply to How to declare variables per loop

You should probably just use a hash instead of a million variables. Something like this would work: 
my $file_location_of;
   $file_location_of->{abc_this_01} = "C:/Stuff/abc_this_01.csv";
   ...

Or you could actually write a loop to populate the hash. That way you wouldn't have to write a bunch of the same stuff over and over.
