The < > syntax is a bit like qw<> from Perl 5. You'll get a List (or
Array, not sure which type exactly from it. So
<myfile1, myfile2>
is a list with two elements, "myfile1" and "myfile2". If you want to
use a variable, you can just provide it with one or more variables:
chmod 0o755, $myfile
chmod 0o755, ($myfile1, $myfile2)
