I guess you're asking what the difference between

$qa[$count] = param ('qa$count');

and

my $qa0 = param ( 'qa0' );

is, when $count == 0.  The difference is that in the first case, the
argument to param is 'qa$count' and in the second the argument is
'qa0'.  When you replaced the single quotes with double, the argument
to param in the first case became 'qa0', identical to the second case.
 What you're assigning to ($qa0 vs. $qa[0]) has no effect here.
