Re^3: How can I access package variables in a dynamic way

The best approach would be to create the appropriate hash yourself then:

my %foreign_variables = (
    address_1 => \$Person::address_1,
    address_2 => \$Person::address_2,
    address_3 => \$Person::address_3,
    # ...
);

I do like this, but in my actual use case (which I didn't mention, sorry) I don't know how many $nums there will be.	[reply]

In that situation, you will have to inspect the hash `%Person::` and hope that all the variable slots have actually been assigned.	[reply] [d/l]

Agreed... although this is really moving into "hack" territory, my code from here could be extended to: `my $amax; for ($amax=1; exists $Person::{"address_$amax"}; $amax++) {} $Person::addresses = sub{\@_}->( map { no strict 'refs'; ${"Person::address_$_"} } 1..$amax-1 );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
