I love to use glob for such an exercise:

use strict; use warnings; use File::Glob 'bsd_glob'; my @dbs = ("db1","db2"); my @commands =( "HPRMCLI exch create -s EXCHDAGNODE1", "HPRMCLI exch mount -h RMEBackupSvr", "HPRMCLI exch validate -level Log", "HPRMCLI exch unmount", "HPRMCLI exch remove", "HPRMCLI exch create -s EXCHDAGNODE2 -nc", "HPRMCLI exch mount -h RMEBackupSvr", "HPRMCLI exch validate -level Full", "HPRMCLI exch unmount", "HPRMCLI exch remove"); $"=","; my @cmds = bsd_glob "{@commands} -mdb {@dbs}"; print "$_\n" for @cmds;

Update: Of course -- as the Perl Puritans did point out -- the use of any special variable should be localized:

my @cmds = do { local $"=","; bsd_glob "{@commands} -mdb {@dbs}" };
