You need 3 levels of iteration to get 3 character keys. Something like this:

my %line=qw(A 1 B 1 C 1);
my @tojoin = qw (W X Y Z); 

for my $l(sort keys %line){
  for my $k(@tojoin){
    $line{qq($l$k$_)}=1
        for @tojoin
  }
};

print qq($_\n) for sort keys %line ;

-- Output ---
A
AWW
AWX
AWY
...snip...
B
BWW
BWX
...snip...
BZZ
C
CWW
...snip...
CZZ

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
