Re: Variables in Config Files....

[hiseldl]

You could also use Config::General with interpolation turned on (see Config::General::Interpolated for full documentation).

# configfile
InstallDir = /usr/local/me
cfgFile = $InstallDir/conf/me.cfg

##################################################

#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

use Config::General;
my $conf = new Config::General(
    -ConfigFile      => 'configfile',
    -InterPolateVars => 1
 );

print Dumper($conf->{'DefaultConfig'});

__END__

# ouptut ($VAR1 is $conf->{'DefaultConfig'}) :
$VAR1 = {
          'cfgFile' => '/usr/local/me/conf/me.cfg',
          'InstallDir' => '/usr/local/me'
        };

Cheers!
