Single assignment to a mixture of data types

I know this must be easy but Perl's syntax has confounded me again... I
would expect the code
below to assign the value of $string as 'C' b
ut instead all values are assigned to the array
.

How can I assign to both a string and array in one line - ideally
without using references.

Thanks

#!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe

use warnings;
use strict;
use diagnostics;

my (array,$string) = (('A','B'),'C');
print "My array is: arraynMy $string is: $stringn";

Produces:
My array is: A B C
My $string is:

Hi!

In my knowledge it is so that you have to turn it around. So don't use
:>; my (array,$string) = (('A','B'),'C');
Because it will always be ABC, but use it so:
> my ($string, array) = ('C', ('A','B'));

Perl flushes everything at one times. This also goes for passing
parameters.
