If all you are trying to do is initialize these variables, use:

my (@arr1, @arr2, $var, @arr3);

    That declares them and initialises them to empty or undef. He wants to initialise $var to zero at the same time.

      Ah yes. I spaced over that part. Too much traveling this weekend! Thanks.

      Note to OP: I recommend using two lines to do what you want to do. For example...

      my ( @arr1, @arr2, @arr3 ); my $var = 0;

      is quite a bit more readable than:

      my ( $var, @arr1, @arr2, @arr3 ) = 0;
