My apologies for not being a little more descriptive.
I actually already have an array of elements. And these
examples are no where near what I am doing, but I am just trying
to keep my questions as basic as possible. I need to go
through the array and create new scalars based on those elements.
I could probably address this entire thing as a hash but I would
have to go back and redo a lot of other things plus I don't think
based on the way I am using the array that a hash would be as
efficient.
As you showed in your example $lname is known when
actually the only thing I have is $fname.
I need to create a scalar that is the word lname combined with
what is found as interpretted $fname ($$fname).
ie; $lnamedanny = mallory.
I thought I could accomplish this with $lname . $$fname = mallory
hence concatenating $lname with $$fname but I get errors on the
concatenation.. Maybe it doesn't like concatenating with interpret.
I know I can concatenate 2 scalars with no problems.
