I've done some searching and can't find an answer to this.  I'd like
to use a scalar variable in an array name.  Something like "@$scalar"
I've tried different permutations like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "@"$scalar""
"@\$scalar" and none of them work.

What I'm trying to do is come up with a way to slurp ARGV variables in
and if a match is found in @list, then print out the matching array,
either @rhel or @all.  The following code is an example.
Thanks for any help,
Kent

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $first_arg = "$ARGV[0]";
my @list = ("all", "rhel");
my @rhel = ("server1", "server3", "server4");
my @all = ("server2", "server5", server7");

foreach my $list_name (@list) {
   if ( $list_name eq $first_arg ) {
       print "@$first_arg";
   }
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
