in reply to Re^2: .env loading the dot env file?
in thread .env loading the dot env file?

Yes I like this inside-out approach too, since it's trivial to share data between different languages. :)

BUT I should add that source has the same limitation like a do config.pl ... it's evaling code which might pose a bigger security problem than only "parsing" the file.

OTOH that's also the case if the shell does it, before executing Perl.

It wasn't clear to me what kind of .env the OP wants. And %ENV is always security relevant.
