Visual Basic has a construct called Enum which looks like so:

Enum namea
        dhbold
        dhcaption
        dhend
        dhform
.....
end enum

What it essentially does is assign an incrementing numeric value to each
variable in the enum, so that
dhbold = 1
dhcaption = 2
dhend = 3
dh form = 4
etc.


Is there a way to do the same thing easily in Perl?

This could be easily replicated with basic Perl data structures (array and/or hash), if you don't want to grab a CPAN module. Can you tell us what you're trying to do with this structure?
