    You can make these linkable by writing [id://105795] like this: Environment Variables.

    And even rename them by writing [id://135922|Another node about Environment Variables]: Another node about Environment Variables.

    I don't really see how either of these nodes is relevant to the problem, other than that they happen to have the words "Environment Variables" in their title. It sounds like the real question is how to perform substitution of placeholders for variables in text, where in this case the collection of values happens to be %ENV. There are some modules for this such as Text::Template though I personally have not used them.

    Hello Sridhar,

    Thanks for replying, but as Errto points out, neither of the nodes you mention has any relevance to my problem.

    The update to my original post shows how I am currently dealing with the situation and may help you to understand what I am trying to do.
