First of all, you should not name lexical variables "$a" and "$b" because these are built-in Perl variables: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar.html . Otherwise you can assign several variables the same initial value using the x operator: my ($x, $y, $z) = (("test") x 3); Note that both pairs of parentheses on the right are required. That put aside, I should note that assigning several different variables the same value smells of code-duplication and varvarname (see http://perl.plover.com/varvarname.html ). Please consider using an array or a hash instead or code a more well-rounded code.
