in reply to Can't use string (">> /$1/$2/figs/Com/dis") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use

That's too strange... why would the parser stop in the middle of a quoted string? Methinks you didn't paste the code accurately.

If you fixed the parens, the $1 is still not seen because you have a single-quoted string. Interpolation works on double-quoted strings.
