Hi,
I have finally been converted to 'use strict' and now I am learning how to use it properly.
Is it possible to do the following (somehow) while using strict?

#!/usr/bin/perl

my @interests = ( "foo", "bar", "blah" );
foreach (@interests) {
 $$_ = "My interest is $_";
}


foreach (@interests) {
        print $$_ , "\n";
}

exit;
[download]

It works well without but returns errors when I 'use strict'.
Cheers,
Reagen

Update: I wasnt so much interested in solving this problem, more so in the how/why it doesnt work.
Thanks everyone for your help - I'll try and do a bit more research on symbolic references.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
