in reply to Trouble working with Config::Simple

I'm still having trouble getting it to write the .kenesis file: I have tryed replacing `$cfg->write("~/.kenesis");` with `$cfg->write("$ENV{HOME}/.kenesis");` and adding `or die $cfg->error();` didn't produce an error. Running $ENV{HOME} through perl -e comes back with the following 
Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "/etc/bash"
        (Missing operator before bash?)
syntax error at -e line 1, near "/etc/bash"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

. I also tried adding in the full path to my home directory and still no file.

    Running this code: 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::Simple;

our $cfg;
my @player;
my $completed_quests = "zero";
my $special_item = "zero";
my @enemy;
my $class = "zero";

$cfg = new Config::Simple(syntax=>'simple');
$cfg->autosave(1);
$cfg->param("player", "@player");
$cfg->param("quest", "$completed_quests");
$cfg->param("items", "$special_item");
$cfg->param("enemy", "@enemy");
$cfg->param("class", "$class");
$cfg->write("$ENV{HOME}/.kenesis");

    outside of my game works but when using it inside the game it doesn't. Maybe it is the way I have it running, right now I have the code for Config::Simple spread out in my main program, but in this test one they are all grouped together variables are created and given a value then everything is written to the file.
