Re: Substituting Variables while reading text file

in reply to Substituting Variables while reading text file

Edit: Oops, toolic beat me to the punch!

What about something like this:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $VAR = "TEMP_VAR";

while (<DATA>) {
    s/\$VAR/$VAR/;
    print;
}

__DATA__
create variable $VAR alarm_object 0
