IIRC, Perl does not let you use a string to build a variable name like PHP does.

Then you do not remember it correctly.

If you do this:
  $myVar = 123;
  $varName = "myVar";
  print "$varName";
You get "myVar" and not "123"

Sure, but if you replace the last line with

    print $$varName;

it outputs '123' under certain conditions. Please see my other message in this thread about why that approach is not a good idea.

However, I think you might be able to use hashes and get what you want.

Indeed.
