IIRC, Perl does not let you use a string to build a variable name like PHP does. If you do this: $myVar = 123; $varName = "myVar"; print "$varName"; You get "myVar" and not "123" which seems to be what you want. However, I think you might be able to use hashes and get what you want. $hash{"myVar"} = "123"; $varName = "myVar"; print "$hash{$varName}"; That'll give you "123". What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
