Yes, it is possible, but it would be ill-advised. I think what you are really looking for is an array of arrays.
Check out 'perldoc perllol' (list of lists) for a description of how to do this. It's a good technique to learn anyway, since it opens the doors to more complex data structures. -----Original Message----- From: chen li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 2:21 PM To: beginners@perl.org Subject: how to create a serial of array names in perl Dear all, Is it possible to create a serial of array name using a loop, such as @array0,@array1, @array2, ..., to @array(n-1)? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
