Hello Perl Monks and gurus! I have a problem in Perl here that I've been trying to solve using different techniques that I came across but it does not seem to work. :( I have a '.rc' file, 'sample1.rc' that contains just this code: 

 # Use -*- perl -*- mode in Emacs.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
+-----------

$RC{configs} = ['dnl',
                'abme', 
                'bet', 
                'khae', ],

$RC{model_root} = '/nfs/fm/disks/fm_aaaa_00011/users/me/repotest/model
+/tools/someproject/logs' 

1;

the '$RC{model_root}' line contains the path to a file that I'm trying to read from my perl script, called 'sample.pl'. This is the complete code in 'sample.pl'..the problem is I'm unable to fetch the path from 'sample1.rc' 

 #!/usr/5.14.1/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use FileHandle;
use File::Find;
use Getopt::Long;
use Data::Dumper;
use File::Path;
use Safe;
use vars qw($ProgDir $ProgName $debug $quiet %RC %OPTS %OPTS_DEF);

main ();

sub main {
    
    parse_cmdline ();
 
    read_file($OPTS{rcfile}) if exists $OPTS{rcfile};

    dynamo_check ();

   

}

my $configs    = $RC{configs};
my $model_root = $RC{model_root};
my $outputfile = 'output.txt';
my %results;


myPrint("Executing the script: $ProgName");

myPrint("$ProgName executed successfully");


#---------------------------------------------------------------------
+----------
         
sub dynamo_check {
    #look for 'Errors: 0' string here
    my $log_file = $model_root;
    while ( <$log_file> ) {
           my ( $varname, $value ) = ( m/\A(\S+) = \'(\S+)\'/ );
           if ( $varname eq '$RC{model_root}' ) { $model_root = $value
+; }
    }

    #print $model_root;
      foreach my $log_file ( glob "/*" ) {
            info ("Opening file: $log_file");
      my $fh = open_for_reading ($log_file);
      if ($log_file eq "dynamo."){
       
    while(my $line = <$fh>) {
        last if ($line =~ m/s*=\s+Exiting Dynamo\W/);
        chomp $line;
        open (my $ofh, '>' , $outputfile) or printError ("Could not op
+en this file $!");

        if ($line =~ m/Errors:\s+0/) {
        print $ofh "Dynamo run status: PASS\n";
        $results{'Dynamo'} = "PASS";

        }else {
             print $ofh "Dynamo run status: FAILED\n";
             $results{'Dynamo'} = "FAILED";
        
         }
         
        close $fh;
    }
}
        #add this file to the 'reports' directory

     }
 }

info ("done..check 1");
