You could get the results desired, if you delay their evaluation, and use slightly strange-looking syntax :
my %h;
%hash = ( 1 => { ONE => 'testdir',
TWO => 'tmpdir' },
2 => { LOCATIONA => sub{ qq($hash{1}{ONE}/$hash{1}{TWO}/my_f
+ile.txt)}, # Note - wrapped in "sub"
LOCATIONB => sub{qq($hash{1}{TWO}/$hash{1}{ONE}/my_fi
+le.txt)} }
);
print $hash{2}{LOCATIONA}(),qq( = location a\n);
#When called like a sub call, produces:
# testdir/tmpdir/my_file.txt = location a
For complete consistency, you would probably wrap the values corresponding to ONE and TWO in sub's as well.

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).
