I am not quite sure what you intend. If you want to associate a name with some numeric value, the Perl way is to use a hash. Below I used %namedValues. It appears that you also want to print the values in a particular order. The Perl way to have data in a particular order is to use an array. Below I used an array of names called @binNames.

I initialized the hash of names to values using what is called a "hash slice". This allowed me to do the initialization all in one step. Then once again used the order of the @binNames array to access and print the hash keys and their values in the proper order. 

use strict;
use warnings;


my @binNames = qw(HRT RD WR LL DC);
my @values   = qw( 0  1   2  3  4);

my %namedValues;

@namedValues{@binNames}=@values; #a "hash slice"

foreach my $name (@binNames)
{
   print "bins $name = {$namedValues{$name}}\n"; #removed backslashes 
+as spotted by [hippo]
}

__END__
bins HRT = {0}
bins RD = {1}
bins WR = {2}
bins LL = {3}
bins DC = {4}
