Re^2: adding number to array name

That won't work for lexical variables, and it will piss off strict (with good reason.)

The far better choice is to use an array of arrays instead. See perldsc.

Of course. First I answered the OPs question, thenI was completing the node with my objection to the approach. You caught me whilst editing ;-) Maybe the other way round it's better - objection first? --shmem _($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo. G°\ / /\_¯/(q / ---------------------------- \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."· ");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}	[reply]

--shmem

_($_=" "x(1<<5)."?\n".q·/)Oo.  G°\        /
                              /\_¯/(q    /
----------------------------  \__(m.====·.(_("always off the crowd"))."·
");sub _{s./.($e="'Itrs `mnsgdq Gdbj O`qkdq")=~y/"-y/#-z/;$e.e && print}
