changing multiple flags and changing them back

[Paul Tremblay]

I have a series of flags that I need to change all at once, and then
change back, and was wondering if I could use an array or hash to do
this.

I am parsing an RTF file, and when I find a footnote, I need to preserve
the flags of the non-footnote text. So if I was in a table, I need to
save the $in_table flag. Then when I am done with the footnote text, I
need to re-set the $in_table flag to its previous state. 

So far I have this:

sub start_footnote{
        $previous_in_table = $in_table;
        ...
}

sub end_footnone{
        $in_table = $previous_in_table;
        ...
}

This works find except I might have 15 or 20 flags I need to set or
re-set. I would like to use an array like this:

@flags = ($in_table, $after_cell, $in_paragraph);

When I finish with my footnote, I will have an array of the previous
values. Now how do I assign these values to the variables?

Thanks

Paul
