Gulliver,

I'm not sure this directly answers your question, but it does show another way to accomplish what I think you are trying to do:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $tmp ='./tmp/';
my $filename_template = '%sfile%02d.zip';

my @zips = map { sprintf $filename_template, $tmp, $_ } (1 .. 5);
print Dumper(\@zips);

__OUTPUT__
$VAR1 = [
          './tmp/file01.zip',
          './tmp/file02.zip',
          './tmp/file03.zip',
          './tmp/file04.zip',
          './tmp/file05.zip'
        ];

I don't think it's a good idea to store the scalar in the string. Much better to provide a means to generate the name programmatically, IMHO.
