Why do you want to actually use symbolic reference to use/access a variable?

You could use a hash ....

my %var_map = ( 'one' => [ 1 .. 2 ] , 'three' => [ 33, 43 ] );

my $name = 'one';
print @{ $var_map{ $name } };

If you still have pressing need, justifiable or otherwise, to implement the original intent, look up "symbolic reference".
