Chaoui05 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks !! I am beginner and it's a real easy question. My issue is : I would like to get in a variable this path ($driver->capture_screenshot("D:/dev/drivers/snap-$browser.png"); ) to not have to write  D:/dev/drivers every time I tried to do this : 
  my $path;
  $path->capture_screenshot{}

[download]
And    $driver->capture_screenshot($path =>"snap-$browser.png");

Many Thanks !!

    Why don't you do what you do for $browser also for the path?

        my $self = shift;
  $self->{browsers} = [('chrome', 'phantomjs', 'firefox', 'internet ex
+plorer')];

        You have the following code:

        $driver->capture_screenshot("D:/dev/drivers/snap-$browser.png");

        [download]

        There, you use the $browser variable to construct a part of the filename.

        You can do the same for other parts of the filename:

        my $target = "D:/dev/drivers/";
$driver->capture_screenshot("$target/snap-$browser.png");
