Having a bad morning remembering. I have a script that runs a bunch of checks. It uses a module that contains an array of checks. There are variables defined in the script that are in the checks in the module that I can get to work. Here is a simplified example:

checks.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use check_module;

my $home_dir = '/home/mine/';

for my $check ( @checks ) {
    print "Checking $check->{name}\n";
    `check->{script}`;
}



check_module.pm
package check_module;

use Exporter;
our @ISA    = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(@checks);

our @checks = (
    {
        name   => "Anybody home?",
        script => qq/echo $home_dir/,
    },
);
1;

When I run it I get

Checking Anybody home?

How do I get the $home_dir to evaluate so that I get

Checking Anybody home?
/home/mine

I hope I typed this simplified example OK. It is on another system that cannot use CPAN or anything else except that which is installed. Thanks.
