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"; } } ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
