in thread Using variable contents in new variable name

I don't get how $admiss_ref->[$index{name}] ends up being $admiss_1_name....

It doesn't. It's a completely different data structure. $admissref is a reference to an array. $index{name} contains an index into that array. It's equivalent to $admiss[1] or something similar.

Perhaps you should read References Quick Reference, if that's unclear.
