I would like to reference various variable in BackupPC_dump from the
perl code that I pass to DumpPreShareCmd.
Since the Perl code passed in DumpPreShareCmd is eventually eval'd, I would
think that the variables in BackupPC_dump should still be in scope and
thus defined.
But this doesn't seem to be true...
For example, the following Perl code *fails* to run, presumably
because $sharename is not defined.
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = '&{sub {
`date >| /tmp/crap`;
`echo $sharename >> /tmp/crap`;
}}';
While by comparison, the following code runs fine
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = '&{sub {
`date >| /tmp/crap`;
}}';
as does:
$Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = '&{sub {
`date >| /tmp/crap`;
my $sharename = "abc";
`echo $sharename >> /tmp/crap`;
}}';
So, why isn't the variable '$sharename' which is defined in
BackupPC_dump not still in scope when $Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} is later
eval'd?
Note, the same problem occurs for any of the variables defined in BackupPC_dump.
