First question: no, the hash was not anonymous, you named it $sr - it is, however, a hash reference.

Second question: don't do that!!

The right way is indeed to use a hash, but here is the wrong way just for you: (and notice no use strict)

use CGI;  # don't use ':standard' unless you don't want OO CGI.pm

my $q = CGI->new();

$$_ = $q->param($_) for $q->param();

print "$foo and $bar\n";

This works when run like so:

$ perl foo.cgi "foo=baz&bar=qux"
baz and qux

But using symbolic references is bad practice. Please, for your sanity down the road, stick with hashes to store 'dynamic' variable names.

B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B--
