Re: Dynamic array names

[arturo]

No big shakes in Perl to do this, but you need to read up on references (perldoc perlref and perldoc perlreftut; in hard copy, I recommend Efficient Perl Programming). What you (probably) want is an *array* of references to arrays.

my @list_of_arrays;
foreach (Thing) {
    # get array from thing
    push @list_of_arrays, \@array;
}
# to get at the arrays

foreach my $array (@list_of_arrays) {
    # $array is a reference to an array
    foreach (@$array) {
        # etc
    }
}
