Hi, I have the following problem: in my program, at a certain time, I make a substitution of variables of an inputed text. Here's the code: 
$ncat += 1;
$init_name = "init_$ncat";

open(FILE,">>$filename");

foreach $l(@header){
$l =~ s/#init_name/$init_name/gi;
print FILE $l;
}

The problem is that the variable #init_name is always substituted by init_0 (the first value) and doesn't increase. If I put: 
$ncat += 1;
$init_name = "init_$ncat";

open(FILE,">>$filename");

foreach $l(@header){
print #$ncat\n";
$l =~ s/#init_name/$init_name/gi;
print FILE $l;
}

it shows the variable increasing in the print!!! What am I doing wrong? Kind regards, Kepler
