Rethink the design
If you end up with dynamicaly named complex storages, you normaly really want to use a hash ;)

In your case something like

my %hash = ( 
    a => [
        ['stuff', 'morestuff'],
        ['otherstuff', 'morestuff'],
        ['yetmorestuff','things']
    ],
    b => [
        ['stuff','morestuff'],
        ['things2','3things'],
    ],
);

seems to be reasonable, but who knows but you, you didn't say what you want to do with all that stuff...
