in reply to Variables in Config Files....

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!
