Hi All,

I know this has been discussed before, and every node seems to point to a parsing module, but I want to avoid using a module for reasons explained below I have a set of about 10 templates .. each one has different %tags% which my script replaces with variables.. currently by using s/%tag%/$value/; which works well.
But in the effort to make my code nice and clean by using -w and strict, these parsing subroutines are causing errors.
This is because several subroutines are holding variables which the parse subroutine uses, hence when the parse sub routine is run, there are undefined variables from other subs, and none are declared..

So I am looking for a good way to do this, I know there are modules for this, but I want to make my code as portable as possible without the need to use external modules

Any suggestions or good approaches to this are hugely appreciated

Many Thanks
