Hi,
This might seem like a stupid question so i'm sorry if it's been asked before, but I want to be able to store an array of variables, then loop though all these variables and perform a simple substition.

I thought the code would look something like this: 

my @elements=(\$hall_name,\$contact_name,\$contact_email,\$contact_tel
+ephone);

foreach my $line (@elements) {
  print "$line<br/>";
  $line=~s/'//g;
}

This was a pretty wild guess because i'm not really used to using references, so I think i'm probably quite wide of the mark, but can anyone tell me how to do this,or a better way if there is one?

cheers,
Tom
