I have the following two data structures: 
my @type = qw(INTEGER INTEGER32 OCTET_STRING OBJECT_IDENTIFIER IPADDRE
+SS COUNTER COUNTER32 GAUGE GAUGE32 UNSIGNED32 TIMETICKS OPAQUE COUNTE
+R64); 

my %hash=(
          'INTEGER' => INTEGER,
          'INTEGER32' => INTEGER32, 
          'OCTET_STRING' => OCTET_STRING,
          'OBJECT_IDENTIFIER' => OBJECT_IDENTIFIER,
          'IPADDRESS' => IPADDRESS,
          'COUNTER' => COUNTER,
          'COUNTER32' => COUNTER32,
          'GAUGE' => GAUGE,
          'GAUGE32' => GAUGE32,  
          'UNSIGNED32' => UNSIGNED32,
          'TIMETICKS' => TIMETICKS, 
          'OPAQUE' => OPAQUE,
          'COUNTER64' => COUNTER64
    );

In order to use the constant value of the hash I need to reference the keys of the hash by the array index.

I.E. $type[0] = INTEGER => $hash{'$type[0]'}

I'm using this in conjunction with some Tk code I wrote 

# Create the list of BrowseEntry boxes for the right frame
    for (1..5) {
        
        $type_e[$_] = $right_frame_bottom->BrowseEntry(
        -variable  => \$type[$_],
        -listwidth => '45',
        -width     => 20,
        -choices   => [@type],
        )->pack(-side => 'top', -pady => '3');
    }

These 5 entry boxes get populated with the array @type

Any ideas, or am I making this to complicated?

update (broquaint): escaped bare square brackets
