Hello

use strict;

my ($row, $col) = (0, -1);
my %TABLE;

my @COLUMNS = ('Period', 'Code', 'Name', 'Handle', 'Date', 'From', 'To
+');

my @VARIABLES = qw/$colPeriod $colCode $colName $colHandle $colDate $c
+olFrom $colTo/;

my %Header = (
    columns   => \@COLUMNS,
    variables => \@VARIABLES,
    table     => \%TABLE,
    heading   => 'true',
    row       => $row,
    column    => $col,
);

BuildHeader(\%Header);

sub BuildHeader {
    my ($header_ref) = @_;

    my $TABLE   = $header_ref->{table};
    my $row     = $header_ref->{row};
    my $col     = $header_ref->{column};

    #columns and variables array must be equal
    if ( scalar @{$header_ref->{columns}} != scalar @{$header_ref->{va
+riables}} ) {
        return;
    }

    foreach ( @{$header_ref->{columns}} ) {
        $TABLE{table}[$row][++$col]{value} = $_;
        $TABLE{table}[$row][$col]{heading} = $header_ref->{heading};
        #Populate each variable in @variables with $col value
        ++$col;
        #return the variables        
    }
}

In the above I've declared VARIABLES array. when I run the script it is not giving any errors (may be because I declared under qw operator).

I need to get all the variables back populated with $col value. I mean i need to include the scoping for all the variables with 'my'. How can i achieve that?
