appearing in the file.

hi,
what I'm wanting to do is generate an array named after a string that is
found in a text file.
i.e something like this:
if ($line=~(/^\[\[(\w+)\]\]/)){
@$1=(); #this is the line I want to acheive my aim with!
}
I know the syntax is wrong, but hopefully
perhaps a hash of arrays is what you want:
if ($line=~(/^\[\[(\w+)\]\]/)){
$HASH{$1} = [];
}
and you reference the array like
push @{ $HASH{'text'} }, someinfo;
or anyother array functions.

First, don't do that. You're doing symbolic references in effect.
Second, that

This does not just apply for eval, symbolic references
