Just for fun, I was playing with creating interpolated variables and attempting to actually create a series of arrays called "@array00" .. "@array09". I thought that by using "use vars", "vars->import()" I could accomplish this with strict/warnings turned on.

This was my test: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use vars;

my @array_references;

for(0..9) {
    $array_references[$_] = [1..100];
}

for(0..9) {
    my $aname = sprintf('array%02d', $_);
    vars->import("\@$aname");
    @$aname = @{$array_references[$_]};
}

print "@array01";

Which doesn't work. If I remove the strict/warnings section, it in fact does create the arrays and work as expected.

But how do you accomplish this (regardless of whether it's stupid or not) and keep warnings/strictness?
