Hi ,
I have a small query regarding variable assignments in perl. See the below code.
$foo = "hello";
my $x = "$foo".$y; # $y is not yet defined.
$y = "world";
print $x;
This gives output as only hello, seems the variable $y is not dynamically substituted in $x based on the next assignment $y = world.
Is there any way to accomplish this like in makefiles we have this type of assignments.
I got this situation when i want to create files dynamically with different names using this type of substitution.
Any help ????
Thanks in Advance!!!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).
