Subject: When -InterPolateEnv is enabled, -StrictVars is ignored
$Variables that are not previously defined are deleted when -InterPolateEnv is enabled. No error message is raised even if -StrictVars is enabled. The solution I think is to remove the special case for InterPolateEnv in _interpolate(), and tack on ENV to the bottom of the stack in _interpolate_hash() The Interpolated.pm with the solution is attached. -Arthur

Normally you don't call it directly. =head1 VARIABLES Variables can be defined everywhere in the config and can be used afterwards as the value of an option. Variables cannot be used as keys or as part of keys. If you define a variable inside a block or a named block then it is only visible within this block or within blocks which are defined inside this block. Well - let's take a look to an example: # sample config which uses variables basedir = /opt/ora user = t_space sys = unix <table intern> instance = INTERN owner = $user # "t_space" logdir = $basedir/log # "/opt/ora/log" sys = macos <procs> misc1 = ${sys}_${instance} # macos_INTERN misc2 = $user # "t_space" </procs> </table> This will result in the following structure: { 'basedir' => '/opt/ora', 'user' => 't_space' 'sys' => 'unix', 'table' => { 'intern' => { 'sys' => 'macos', 'logdir' => '/opt/ora/log', 'instance' => 'INTERN', 'owner' => 't_space', 'procs' => { 'misc1' => 'macos_INTERN', 'misc2' => 't_space' } } } As you can see, the variable B<sys> has been defined twice. Inside the <procs> block a variable ${sys} has been used, which then were interpolated into the value of B<sys> defined inside the <table> block, not the sys variable one level above. If sys were not defined inside the <table> block then the "global" variable B<sys> would have been used instead with the value of "unix". Variables inside double quotes will be interpolated, but variables inside single quotes will B<not> interpolated. This is the same behavior as you know of perl itself. In addition you can surround variable names with curly braces to avoid misinterpretation by the parser. =head1 SEE ALSO L<Config::General> =head1 AUTHORS Thomas Linden <tlinden |AT| cpan.org> Autrijus Tang <autrijus@autrijus.org> Wei-Hon Chen <plasmaball@pchome.com.tw> =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2001 by Wei-Hon Chen E<lt>plasmaball@pchome.com.twE<gt>.
