I just wanted to follow up and perhaps clarify that. What I read is

but what I'm hearing is that you want to prepend text to several
variables, not just the filenames.
One way to do that is via eval, e.g.
my $foo = 'hello foo';
my $bar = 'hello bar';
my $baz = 'hello baz';
my @vars = qw( foo bar baz);
foreach my $var (@vars) {
my $x = "\$$var = 'why, ' . \$$var . \"\\n\";";
eval $x;
}
print $foo, $bar, $baz;
This prepends 'why, ' and postpends a crlf to each of the variables foo,
bar, and baz. eval allows you to break the fourth wall.
