my Problem ist following:

$nr1 = 1;
$nr2 = 2;

$name.$nr = "Hello";

I have tried following way:

${"name".$nr} = "Hello";

But it doesn´t work. Is there another way to solve my problem?

greetings

You haven't described what your problem is. What exactly are you trying
to achieve?

Note that I'm going to make a *guess* that you are trying to use a
variable as a variable name. This is A Bad Idea. For more information on
why this is A Bad Idea, and how to do what you *should* do instead, please
read the FAQ entry "How can I use a variable as a variable name":

perldoc -q 'variable name'

This is not Perl. Are you thinking about a "record" like in Modula or
Pascal?
The closest Perl data structure would be a hash:
$name{$nr} = "Hello";

I try to enlarge the variablename of my scalar $name so that i have
later a variable named $name666 or $name999 with the value "Hello".

Yes. This is what I said. You are trying to use a variable (in this case
$nr1 or $nr2) as part of a variable name. This is not a good idea.
Please read the FAQ I mentioned in my previous reply. If you do not
understand something in that FAQ, let us know what you don't understand.

This is A Bad Idea.
Please see 'perldoc -q "variable name"' why and what to do instead.

Also, aren't these top posts?

Not I whole heartedly agree with Jügen, trim, trim, trim! Way too much
excess is quoted.

not really. these were general comments that did not depend on any
quoted text. Jürgen could have stopped there but decided to
also reply to the top-poster, and did that properly quoted, of
course

my %name; # Use a hash
$name{666} = "Number of the beast";
$name{foo} = "bar";
$name{$nr1} = "one";
$name{$nr2} = "two";
