print a same line several times in perl

Question

I want to output in one line which is fine now, like: ``` print "$a	" x 99; print "$b
"; ``` So above is how one line looks like. But I also want to print these lines `$c` times. Is there a shortcut to do that rather than using for loops like: ``` for ($i = 1; $i <= $c; $i++) { print "$a	" x 99; print "$b
"; } ``` Is there simpler ways to do so, just like `"$a	" x 99`?

Accepted Answer

```
for (1 .. $how_many) { print "$foo	" x 99, "$bar
"; }
```

is IMO simpler than C-style for (;;) loops.
