No they are not C stringz.
our ${"one\0two"} = 10;
print ${"one\0two"},"\n";
They are Perl strings so they can contain any character you like.
But of course if you do use certain characters you'll have to quote
the variablename.
Anyway ... I don't think there is any limit (you could reach).
Maybe the variablename cannot be longer than say 4GB, but ... ;-)
