Re^2: logic within interpolation by karrakis (Novice) on Mar 29, 2013 at 22:04 UTC
the problem actually lies in the 'nesting' of the interpolations being done. ${if(this){return 'this';}} is fine, because the single quotes do not result in this during eval: eval ""this""; <- problem. eval "'this'"; <- evaluated properly. So the problem is I need to find a way to interpolate the contents of $1 and then have those contents interpolated again. I think I'm on the right track now, but thanks for the boilerplate, some of that looks to be useful reading.	[reply]

For the evil and functional version of what you say, see Re: Perl as a command executor (with hash variable substitution). And then use the modules cited above. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.	[reply]
