Subject: Interpolation of variables preceded by @ fails
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:26:08 +0200
To: "bug-Config-General [...] rt.cpan.org" <bug-Config-General [...] rt.cpan.org>
From: "Linden, Thomas" <Thomas.Linden [...] izb.de>
Interpolation fails in such cases: cmd = $scp $user@$host:$file $dir While this one works as expected: cmd = $scp $user@${host}:$file $dir Version 2.38.
Wrong, not the '@' is the problem, but the ':'. Without brackets it considers the ':' to be part of the variable name. Since the ':' isn't any magic and also allowed in variable names I cannot see why to add an exception here. So, using brackets should be sufficient.
