... I also included: use strict; use warnings;
Really? With use strict it should've stopped working
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
our $pax_1 = "foo";
my $plus = 1;
my $name = "pax_$plus";
my $paxing = ${$name};
print "$paxing\n";
__END__
Can't use string ("pax_1") as a SCALAR ref while "strict refs" in use
+at ./880063.pl line 8.
unless you also disable strict refs, e.g. as follows
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
our $pax_1 = "foo";
my $plus = 1;
my $name = "pax_$plus";
my $paxing;
{ no strict 'refs';
$paxing = ${$name};
}
print "$paxing\n"; # "foo"

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
