If I'd known I was helping with symbolic references, I
would've done something different. I thought I was looking
at hash arrays in the original post. Don't do this. Do use
strict and figure out how to make it work under strict.
Use arrays, or hash arrays or something, but don't use
a variable as a variable name. Do read the link at the
bottom that Hans provided.
