Umm, what are you trying to do exactly? How are you going to define your sets? If you want to hardcode your settings, you probably should be looking at a better data structure to hold the settings.

You can use a hash or a list to hold your sets, and use hash slice or array slice to build your arguments the Perl Monk way...

#hash slice example
my %sets = (
  'set1' => {
    ...
  },
  'set2' => {
    ...
  },
  'set3' => {
    ...
  },
  ...
);
# When you want to build your list of arguments in a
# specific order, make use of hash slices
my @setargs = @sets{ qw/ set3 set1 set2 / };

# or alternatively, when you want to include everything
# and don't care about the ordering
my @setargs = @sets{ sort keys %sets };

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
