in reply to Create an array reference from a string

I'm late in the game here... but anyways...

Without arguing the merits of symbolic reference (merits they say... what merits?), this will do it.

#!/usr/bin/perl our @bar = qw(One Two Three); my $foo = "bar"; print "***" . $foo . "***\n"; foreach (@$foo) { print $_ . "\n"; }
