As there are two "things" I'd consider statements I'd rather use the usual form of for(). 

for my ($dginput, $volinput) {
  $_ = lc <>;
  chomp;
}

I find it less confusing. This is not golf.

Update: Whoops. That's what I get for not testing the code. No it would not work in 5.10 either. Forget everything I said, you'd have to write it like this: 

my ($dginput, $volinput);
for ($dginput, $volinput) {
  $_ = lc <>;
  chomp;
}

Even if I fix the syntax error (by adding one more pair of braces) the variables to not stay declared outside the loop. So it might have been less confusing, but it was plain wrong. Sorry.
