Need Help??

meshgraphics has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to slurp in an html file with $scalars. How do I get them expanded when I print out the slurp.

open OUT, "< $Outy";

{ local $/ = undef; $Slurp = <OUT>; }


print "$Slurp";

It sounds like what you really want is an html template mechanism. I like Template Toolkit for that. You could call `s/\$([a-zA-Z_]\w*)/${$1}/g` on the slurped file, though you'd want to switch off warnings for that. After Compline, Zaxo	[reply] [d/l]

This should work: `eval "print \"$Slurp\"\n"; # or print eval "\"$Slurp\"";` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
