Re: Adding a number from scalar variable to array name

Use a hash of anonymous arrays instead:

my %store;
foreach my $num ( 1..4 ) {
    $store{ "get$num" } = [ $num ];
}

Maybe that will work, but I need those arrays later to create multiple querys from.. So for example. I created @array1, @array2 and @array3 names for my arrays based on the for loop. @array1 = (1,2,3); @array2 = (4,5,6); so later in my perl code I can run these queries: in my for loop (1..10 or whatever) Select * from table where id in (@array1); Select * from table where id in (@array2); Select * from table where id in (@array3); etc	[reply]

Using the hash of array references will work for you. Instead of @array1=(1,2,3) you say $hash{1}=[ 1,2,3 ]. Then, to use this as an array you would say "...where id in @{$hash{1}}..."	[reply]
