Umm, what are you trying to do exactly? How are you going to define your sets? If you want to hardcode your settings, you probably should be looking at a better data structure to hold the settings.

You can use a hash or a list to hold your sets, and use hash slice or array slice to build your arguments the Perl Monk way...

#hash slice example
my %sets = (
  'set1' => {
    ...
  },
  'set2' => {
    ...
  },
  'set3' => {
    ...
  },
  ...
);
# When you want to build your list of arguments in a
# specific order, make use of hash slices
my @setargs = @sets{ qw/ set3 set1 set2 / };

# or alternatively, when you want to include everything
# and don't care about the ordering
my @setargs = @sets{ sort keys %sets };
