A program reads in a template (not mine) which has fields defined 

first=one
second=two

then it reads in another file with stuff like

"adding $first and $second we get third"

i loop through the variables from the template, and pretty
much do this for each one (assume $newstring points at the
string above):

{
($variable, $value) = split("=", $linefromtemplate);
$$variable = $value;
$newstring = eval("return \"$newstring\");
}

Not beautiful I agree...but seemed a quick way of doing what
I want - only I dont want the newly associated variables
to be applicable outside of the scope of the block they 
are declared in.

(And strict complains about it too)

Thanks
