How to create an array of numbers from 001 - 500 2

[sdslrn123]

The 001 element (3 figure configuration is important. Is this possible without having to type out all the numbers?
I have tried @nums = (001 .. 500) with no success.

for ($i=1; $i<501; $i++) {
  push @array, sprintf ("%0.3d", $i);
}

print join "\n", @array;

same thing using map:

my @array = map {sprintf "%0.3d",$_} (1..500);

You were nearly there ...

my @nums = ("001" .. "500");
