Not exactly. You can set up that kind of thing with Perl's C-style for loop. Perl style for like you show takes single element at a time from a list.
If you can get several hunks of data into each element of the list, you can define ($x,$y) inside the loop and extract the data:
for ([qw/Joe Blow/], [qw/John Doe/]) {
my ($x, $y) = @$_;
# do something
}
or
for ('Joe Blow', 'John Doe') {
my ($x, $y) = split;
# and so on
}
The for loop in your example could be written:
{
my ($x, $y) = ($name, $lastname);
# do something
}
C-style for can get very baroque, but that's not encouraged, even in C.
