Re: array naming

If I get your question right, you need something like this:

$var = "some_stupid_name";
@{$var} = qw(foo bar baz);
print @some_stupid_name;

See 'perldoc perlref' for more information.

Also, look at these articles as to why you shouldn't (or may not want to) do this.

thanx this is what i needed.. i'm proud of myself actually, this is what i had done more or less as a test to see if it would work, and it turned out to be right :)

In any event, you still shouldn't be doing it, until you know thoroughly why we tell people you shouldn't do it. {grin}
