If you restrict your 'no strict' to a very small block, it's really no
problem at all. Best practice is to apply it to the smallest possible
block possible. This would be even better than what I initially wrote:
foreach ... {
# "setup" code here
{
no strict 'refs';
$$varname = <simple expression>;
}
}
"simple expression" is ideally a single variable whose value you
initialize in the "setup" code. Minimal code under 'no strict' means
fewer possible errors.
