Re: dynamically creating variables named after the contents of an array

in reply to dynamically creating variables named after the contents of an array

Well, I'm not sure it's a good idea to do this, and it will break if you're running with "use strict" (as you defenitly should!), but I think you can do it this way:

for (@array) {
  $$_ = OBJ->new;
  ...
}

see perldoc strict.
