thanx varontron !! but my actual problem is stated below!!
here is the script sample1.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
tab=$1;
declare -a ${tab}_fld;
for((i=1;i<=4;i++))
do
   echo -n "enter ${tab}_fld[$i] :";read ${tab}_fld[$i];
done

eval echo \${${tab}_fld[3]};

 export  ${tab}_fld;
 export tab;
 perl -e '
   $tab="$ENV{'tab'}"."_fld";
   print ("$tab\n");
  print ("env: $ENV{'"$tab[3]"'} \n");
 '

Code:
$ ./sample1.sh hell
enter hell_fld[1] :1
enter hell_fld[2] :2
enter hell_fld[3] :3
enter hell_fld[4] :4
3
syntax error at -e line 4, near "hell["
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

i want to access the 'hell_fld' array declared above.
infact, i want access the array in sample1.sh through another script like ..
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$tab="$ENV{'tab'}"."_fld";
 print ("$tab\n");
 print ("env: $ENV{'"$tab[3]"'} \n");

is there any way to make this possible? plz help.

thanx!!

build-lives-rfx-plugin(1)				      General Commands Manual					 build-lives-rfx-plugin(1)

NAME

       build-lives-rfx-plugin - builds rendered effects for LiVES

SYNOPSIS

       build-lives-rfx-plugin script_name [plugin_dir] -get section file

DESCRIPTION

       This perl script is used by LiVES to compile an RFX (rendered effect) plugin for LiVES. It is generally called from build-lives-rfx-plugin-
       multi for a script which has a language code representing LiVES-perl. The script_name must be  the  full  (absolute)  path  to  the  plugin
       script,	and  plugin_dir  can  be  used to specify the output directory where the compiled plugin should be generated. If plugin_dir is not
       defined then /tmp is assumed.

       The second variant with -get is used to print out a script section from a plugin script to stdout. It is generally only used internally	by
       LiVES.

       Return values The script returns the following values

       0 - success 1 - the value of a trigger was greater than the number of parameters 2 - a value could not be read from the script file 3 - the
       language code of the plugin script was not equivalent to LiVES-perl 4 - the API version level of the plugin script  was	invalid  5  -  the
       <define> section was missing from the plugin script
