How can take the value of one variable, substitute say its suffix, and
assign it to another?  I have only figured out how to do it using an
intermediate variable:

if ( $code eq "" ){
   my $base = $out ;
   $base =~ s/\.out$/\.cde/ ;
   $code = $base ;
}

Are you wishing to simplify that code, maybe like this?

 ($code = $out) =~ s/\.out$/.cde/
   if $code eq "";

Hope this helps!
