Obviously…

my @numword = qw( zero one two three four five six seven eight nine te +n ); my $i = 0; ${ "f_" . $numword[ $i++ ] } = $_ for split //, $string;

Nevermind the fact that you can vandalize the symbol table to put things in it with whose names don't conform to identifier rules, such as ${ '[ ha ha ha ]' } = 1;.
