I have a regexp with backreferences, and I have a variable that holds the number of backreferences. Observe: 
use warnings;
use strict;
#....
$_ = 'foobarbaz';
my $backrefcount = 3;
/(f.o)(b.r)(b.z)/;
foreach (1..$backrefcount)
{
    no strict;
    print ${$_}."\n";
}

(FYI, what I actually have is a snippet that counts the number of backreferences in a pattern, and then concat's each backreference value into one string.)

I was curious if there's a way to do this while keeping the strict pragma active. I found one node (http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=35531) that seemed sort of along the lines of what I need, but I couldn't figure out how to apply it to what I'm doing.
