in reply to Populating a hash from array

@array1 = qq (foo, foo1, foo2, foo3, foo4, ...)
@array2 = qq (bar, bar1, bar2, bar3, bar4, ...).

As a sidenote, you don't want qq, you want qw. And get rid of the commas. 
@array1 = qw(foo foo1 foo2 foo3 foo4 ...);
@array2 = qw(bar bar1 bar2 bar3 bar4 ...);

    thanks ... probably just a typo on my part.

      TASdvlper,
      In addition to what bart said, if your data really does look like this - there is probably a much better way to build your array (the lazy way). 
      my @array1 = map { 'foo' . $_ } 1 .. 99;

      "Ok great, but I want the first element to just be 'foo' with no number" 
      my @array1 = map { $_ ? 'foo' . $_ : 'foo' } 0 .. 99;
