I have to read a configuration file that contains lines like these ones:
VAR=/path/to/
AMB=cer
DIRSKE=${VAR}${AMB}
SCRIPT=${DIRSKE}/script.sh
After a search, I found that module Appconfig can be the right one. I've read its documentation more and more, but I think I don't really understand how it works (honestly, it is a bit harder to read). Consider also that I'm only a beginner in Perl.
My problem is the variable named DIRSKE. Appconfig can expand the value as in a shell script, but I can't understand how do it when I have two of them in the same line.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use AppConfig qw(:expand);
my $config = AppConfig->new({
CASE => 1,
GLOBAL => {EXPAND => EXPAND_ALL}
});
$config->define("VAR=s");
$config->define("AMB=s");
$config->define("DIRSKE=s"); # Maybe this is wrong, but what else?
$config->define("SCRIPT=s");
#read configuration file
$config->file("./file.conf");
#some print
print "Valore VAR -> ".$config->VAR()."\n";
print "Valore AMB -> ".$config->AMB()."\n";
print "Valore DIRSKE -> ".$config->DIRSKE()."\n";
print "Valore SCRIPT -> ".$config->SCRIPT()."\n";
The output is:
Valore VAR -> /path/to/
Valore AMB -> cer
Valore DIRSKE ->
Valore SCRIPT -> /script.sh
I'd like to have something like:
Valore VAR -> /path/to/
Valore AMB -> cer
Valore DIRSKE -> /path/to/cer
Valore SCRIPT -> /path/to/cer/script.sh
Am I using the correct module?
If yes, can I have a suggestion on how to do it?
Thanks!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
