Hi Bennco99,

If i understood your question correctly, i think you are looking for symbolic references, which you have to avoid fully. Instead you can use hash or array to use it later. Take a look at perlvar.

$hash{pcname}= "DNSHostName"

Here are some nodes that may help you to understand better symbolic references, Re: Dynamically naming and creating hashes

Update: Sorry, misunderstood the question. Ignore this. Ikegami thanks for pointing out :)
