Dear Monks,

Is there a way in which environment variables are recognized by YAML files 

use YAML;
my ($hashref) = Load(<<'...');

---
Home: "$ENV{HOME}"
...

print Dump ($hashref);

The above snippet results in: 

HOME: '$ENV{HOME}'

Hence the environment variable is not interpolated.
Is there anyway this can be done or should we post process the hash to resolve the environment variables
Thanks

UPDATE: Thanks Everyone for your replies. Greatly appreciate it.
As MidLifeXis pointed out, I was only providing a self contained example.
In reality I have the YAML as a separate file that will have a lot of entries.
But as afoken and RonW pointed out, It looks like interpolation is not supported and we may need to do data manipulation
Here is a snippet that mimics my actual case 

use YAML;
my ($hashref) = YAML::LoadFile("test.yaml");

print Dump ($hashref);

print $h;

The content of the test.yaml: 

Home: "$ENV{HOME}"
