I am trying to make a generalized queue or stack management routine and am having trouble with %pop and assignments.

I know that %pop takes the name of a list not the list itself. I also know I assign to the name of a variable, not what is currently in the variable.

Is there a way to do these things when the name of a variable (or list variable) is stored in another, local variable.?

If x = 1|2 and $name = x is there a way to do something like %pop(x), but by working on the $name variable? I tried %pop({$name}) and that didn't work.

Is there a way to assign a new value to x indirectly through the $name variable?

Thanks

%pop(%string($name))

#var %string($name) value

#say $name is @{$name}
