Sorry I don't know what happened

the problem isn't the dots in a variable name, I also tried:

juan@elsotanillo:~$ $TEST$HOSTS="some value"
bash: popmaquina1=some value: command not found

juan@elsotanillo:~$ `echo $TEST$HOSTS`="some value"
bash: popmaquina1=some value: command not found

juan@elsotanillo:~$ `echo ${TEST}${HOSTS}`="some value"
bash: popmaquina1=some value: command not found

juan@elsotanillo:~$ ${TEST}${HOSTS}="some value"
bash: popmaquina1=some value: command not found

bash: maquina1=some value: command not found
juan@elsotanillo:~$ "$TEST_$HOSTS"="some value"

bash: maquina1=some value: command not found
juan@elsotanillo:~$ "$TEST_$HOSTS"="some value"

I think It can't be done.... It's impossible declare a variable with $ on the 
left side of = . Am i wrong?

Anyone knows another method to do that i want?

Thanks a lot
