in reply to get variable from file to exist within perl code

In general, don't use eval or similar (evalbytes, do, require, use) for configuration data. See also: Re^2: conf file in Perl syntax, Re: Accessing variables in an external hash without eval

Update:

The doc shortcut [doc://evalbytes] seems to be broken at perlmonks, linking to http://perldoc.perl.org/evalbytes.html instead of the correct http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/evalbytes.html.

Thanks to AnomalousMonk.

Second update:

Fixed!
