read in file with vars

[meshgraphics]

I'm trying to slurp in an html file with $scalars. How do I get them expanded when I print out the slurp.

open OUT, "< $Outy";

{ local $/ = undef; $Slurp = <OUT>; }


print "$Slurp";

It sounds like what you really want is an html template mechanism. I like Template Toolkit for that.

You could call s/\$([a-zA-Z_]\w*)/${$1}/g on the slurped file, though you'd want to switch off warnings for that.

This should work:

eval "print \"$Slurp\"\n";
# or
print eval "\"$Slurp\"";
