in reply to print perl arrays using variables in array name

As others have pointed out, this is a terrible idea, and you should use a hash.

But, because this is perl, here is the noose-constructor: 

perl -le '@array0 = qw( 1 2 3 4 );@array1 = qw( 5 6 7 8 );foreach $i(0
+,1){print "ARRAY $i\nValue ". ${"array$i"}[1]. "\n";};'
