Dynamic variable names

You can interpolate strings as variable names:

our $our-var = 'The our var';
my  $my-var  = 'The my var';
 
my $name  = prompt 'Variable name: ';
my $value = $::('name'); # use the right sigil, etc
 
put qq/Var ($name) starts with value ｢$value｣/;
 
$::('name') = 137;
 
put qq/Var ($name) ends with value ｢{$::('name')}｣/;
