Can I do something like this?


perldoc -q quoting



@CityA="Suburb1, Suburb2, Suburb3"; @CityB="Suburb1, Suburb4, Suburb5";


I don't think the above is doing what you think it is. It is assigning one element (the first) of the array to a string. If you are trying to assign the array 3 elements, you need to quote it differently,


my @CityA = ('Suburb1','Suburb2','Suburb3');
my @CityB = ('Suburb1','Suburb4','Suburb5');

$Var="TownCurrent";


$Var isn't used again in your example, what is its intended use?


$NewVar="$($TownCurrent)[1]";

The above is non-sensical...



I am trying to construct a sting from a variable.



Construct a string from a variable, or choose a variable using a string?


make sence?


Not really. Try to explain better what you are doing... Since this has nothing to do with CGI your question is better asked on [EMAIL PROTECTED] ....
