in reply to Dynamic Variables?

The short answer is, 'yes, Perl can use the value of one variable as the name of another variable', and I realize you're just curious, but dear God don't ever use this in real code. Here's a whole page about it: http://perl.plover.com/varvarname.html

    patgas, thanks!

       This is why I love sites like Perl Monks! Instead of getting RTFM, or other newbie blow offs, you all (ok, most) provide thoughtful answers. And best of all, if it's a matter of opinion or TMTOWTDI, you offer reasoning to back it up.
