Re^5: Using . in variable name

You can call the variable anything. Let's say $dog or $cat in which case:

my $dog = 'http://www.perl.org/';
my $cat = 'https://metacpan.org/';
system("ant -file japi/test.xml -Dapp1.url=$dog -Dapp2.url=$cat");
[download]

Which is equivalent then to this command you would type at your prompt:

ant -file japi/test.xml -Dapp1.url=http://www.perl.org/ -Dapp2.url=htt
+ps://metacpan.org/

shell is danger :) `system 'ant', '--file', 'japi/test.xml', "-Dapp1.url=$dog", "-Dapp2.url=$cat";`	[reply] [d/l]
