Learn about proper references (perlref, perlreftut, perldsc, perllol), and hashes (perldata, perlintro). You're asking about how to do a thing because you are unaware of a better thing to do. Symbolic references are possible (and the reading I linked to will even show you how), but there are vastly better ways to do what you want using hashes, and first-class references.

It's not 100% clear to me what you want to do or expect to happen here, but perhaps an AoH would be better suited than a plain array?

#!/usr/bin/env perl 
use strict;
use warnings;

my $id                 = 'foo';
my $Record_Lock        = 'bar';
my $Record_Change_Date = 'baz';

my @elements = (
    {name => 'id',                 value => $id                },
    {name => 'Record_Lock',        value => $Record_Lock       },
    {name => 'Record_Change_Date', value => $Record_Change_Date} 
);

for my $elem (@elements) {
    print "Elem name $elem->{name} has value $elem->{value}\n";
}

Simplified question what if I want to do this print the array element varibale name and value
Example:


$test=12;
$test=13;
@array=($test,$test2);
foreach $value(@array)
{
print ?Variable_Name?  $value;
}

Getting @ the variable_name inside of the array is what I can not remember how to do.

You don't have a variable_name inside of the array available by assignment. You have the values of the variables.

If you want to access the values by name, do so using a hash:

$test  =12;
$test2 =13;
%hash=(
  test  => $test,
  test2 => $test2,
);
foreach $name(qw(test test2))
{
  print "$name $hash{$name}\n";
}

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

The array stores the values, not the variables and their names.
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
