Thanks for the clarification. I was misunderstanding how a HoH works. Ed

Subject: naming a variable as a numeric value


I asked in a previous query ...

        Is it possible to name a variable as the numeric value of a scalar?

I should be more specific.

Is it possible to convert the value returned by the time function into a
name for a variable?
I presume I concatenate some form of the number returned to $:    \$ .= "
"?

This would allow a convenient name for a hash in a HoH to allow its easy
access without knowing a priori the hash's name.

Ed
