perl - how can we name a variable base on value of another variable
Hey all,

perl - how can we name a variable base on the value of another variable?

for example in ksh/bash we do :

export c="100"
export x`echo $c`=2000
echo $x100
x100=2000

is it possible to do something similar for perl?

I already tried many ways but nothing is working.

I am trying to solve a issue in an perl script and the solution that i am trying to do should have different variables.

Can someone please help me on this?

Thanks in advance.
Carlos

vdetaplib

VDETAPLIB(1)						      General Commands Manual						      VDETAPLIB(1)

NAME

       vdetaplib - Virtual Distributed Ethernet tap emulation library

SYNOPSIS

       No synopsis

DESCRIPTION

       vdetaplib  is  a library that emulates tap (tuntap level2 interface, see in kernel sources Documentation/networking/tun.c) and connects tap
       virtual interfaces to vde networks.

       To use it, the libvdetab.so library must be preloaded (sh, ksh or bash syntax):
	      export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/vde2/libvdetap.so
       (csh, tchs syntax):
	      setenv LD_PRELOAD /usr/lib/vde2/libvdetap.so

       If you want to divert all tap requests to a single vde_switch set the variable VDEALLTAP to the vde socket.
       (sh, ksh or bash syntax):
	      export VDEALLTAP=/tmp/vde.ctl
       (csh, tchs syntax):
	      setenv VDEALLTAP /tmp/vde.ctl

       It is possible to set each single interface to different vde_switches by setting the environment variable with the same name of the  inter-
       face.
       (sh, ksh or bash syntax):
	      export tap0=/tmp/vde.ctl
	      export tap1=/tmp/myvde.ctl
	      export ppc=/tmp/ppc.ctl
       (csh, tchs syntax):
	      setenv tap0 /tmp/vde.ctl
	      setenv tap1 /tmp/myvde.ctl
	      setenv ppc /tmp/ppc.ctl

       It is also possible to specify port, group or mode for a given interface setting environment variables as in the following example.
       (sh, ksh or bash syntax):
	      export tap0_port=5
	      export tap0_group=vde-net
	      export tap0_mode=0660
       (csh, tchs, syntax):
	      setenv tap0_port 5
	      setenv tap0_group vde-net
	      setenv tap0_mode 0660

       The  variable to set the specific interface is checked first then VDEALLTAP. VDEALLTAP thus works as a default choice for the vde switch to
       be used.  If VDEALLTAP is not set and there is no specific environment variable (and for tun -- IFF_TUN	interfaces)  the  kernel  provided
       interface is used.  In this latter case access to /dev/net/tun is required, generally root access.
