dynamic scalar values and "strict"

hi-

i have a bunch of variables that i get data into via cgi. because i'm using 
strict, they all have "my" infront of them.  

what i'm trying to do is create a string that i can pass to another cgi of a
ll the variables. eg ?&month=$month&day=$day&year=$year.

now, i was thinking i could very easily just create an array with the names 
of the scalars, and loop though and put the values in the string. something 
like this:
PHP:

my $month = 5;
my $day = 7;
my $year = 2005;

my $params = "?";

my @list = qw( month day year );
foreach my $name (@list){
    $params .= "&".$name."=".${$name};
}
print $params;

 

first of all, because of the "my"'s, the values aren't visible using this dy
namic method or some reason.  saying print $month inside the foreach works, 
but ${$name} does not, for some reason... 
secondly, when i run it using "use strict", i get an error: 

"Can't use string ("month") as a SCALAR ref while "strict refs" in use"

are there ways to get around this?
