>(first off, there has to be an easier way to generate a variable containing
>a-z and z-a,

TRY
  $backwards = reverse('a'..'z');
  $forwards = reverse($backwards);
  print "$forwards\n$backwards\n";

OR

  $forwards = reverse(reverse('a'..'z'));

OR

  @forwards = ('a'..'z');
  $forwards = join('',@forwards);
