Can we use string as variable name

[Piyush Verma]

Hi,

I want to use string as a variable name, please explain if there is any way
in perl.
Please have a look on below cases, I want to implement case 2.

e.g.
Case 1: if I am using global varibale without strict module
           $var = "this";
           $this = "realvalue";
           print ${$var};

           OUTPUT: realvalue
Case 2: if I am using strict module and my variables
           use strict;
           my $var = "this";
           my $this = "realvalue";
           print ${$var};

           OUTPUT: Can't use string ("this") as a SCALAR ref while "strict
refs" in use at 2.pl line 6.
