    Then you need something like:

    my @short_sizes = map { my $item = $_; $item =~ s/^(\w)\w{1,}$/$1b/; $item } @in_sub_filesize_names;

    In map, grep, and in "for" loops, $_ is an alias to the current item, so this would work also:
    my @short_sizes = @in_sub_filesize_names;
s/^(\w)\w{1,}$/$1b/ for @short_sizes;
