In case anyone else stumbles across this...

$tbl is outside of the anonymous function's scope that is being passed to the Schema::table method. In order to access it within the anonymous function add use ($tbl) after the function's parameter definition:

Schema::table($tbl['tableName'], function(Blueprint $table) use ($tbl) {
    foreach ($tbl['foreignKeys'] as $key)
    {
        $table->dropForeign($tbl['tableName'].'_'.$key.'_foreign'); 
    }
    ...
});
