Just a bit hard to tell what your ultimate intent is, but maybe something like: 

>perl -wMstrict -le
"my @reports = qw /doc_request doc_errors doc_types /;
 my %rpt = (
   doc_request => [ qw(T_Doc_Request N_Doc_Request X_Doc_Request) ],
   doc_errors  => [ qw(T_Doc_Errors  N_Doc_Errors  X_Doc_Errors ) ],
   doc_types   => [ qw(T_Doc_Types   N_Doc_Errors  X_Doc_Errors ) ],
   );
 ;;
 foreach my $report (@reports) {
   foreach my $section (@{ $rpt{$report} }) {
     do_something_with($report, $section);
     }
   }
 ;;
 sub do_something_with {
   my ($report, $section) = @_;
   print qq{report '$report', section '$section'};
   }
"
report 'doc_request', section 'T_Doc_Request'
report 'doc_request', section 'N_Doc_Request'
report 'doc_request', section 'X_Doc_Request'
report 'doc_errors', section 'T_Doc_Errors'
report 'doc_errors', section 'N_Doc_Errors'
report 'doc_errors', section 'X_Doc_Errors'
report 'doc_types', section 'T_Doc_Types'
report 'doc_types', section 'N_Doc_Errors'
report 'doc_types', section 'X_Doc_Errors'
