Getting @ the variable_name inside of the array is what I can not remember how to do.

You don't have a variable_name inside of the array available by assignment. You have the values of the variables.

If you want to access the values by name, do so using a hash:

$test  =12;
$test2 =13;
%hash=(
  test  => $test,
  test2 => $test2,
);
foreach $name(qw(test test2))
{
  print "$name $hash{$name}\n";
}
