Re^2: dynamically generated array variable

[perlknight]

I did this and it works:

#use strict;

$host = qw(@hosta);
foreach $cnf (eval($host) {
}

. is there a way to specify it so that I can use strict? Thanks.

Yes. I already provided that. use strict does not give an error with the code in my previous post.

use strict;
use warnings;

# ... Load config file ...

my $hostname = 'hosta';
my @host = do { no strict 'refs'; @$hostname };

foreach my $cnf (@host) {
   ...
}

By the way, why are you using qw(...) to initialize a scalar. Don't you want
$host = q(...);
or the equivalent but more readable
$host = '...';
