you so totally could use an assoc. array right now:

$cat_adt = "x";
$rm = "y";

$a[ $cat_adt ] = "whatever";
$a[ "$rm"."$cat_adt" ] = "Yeah";

print $a['yx'];


save yourself a lot of trouble and dont bother with
variables-of-variables and trying to get
$rm_$cat_adt == $rm_x

just use a hash... that's what it's there for ;)
