Subject: substituting variables in external file. I have a need to have 3 different templates of email text outside of my actual script, what I want to know is can I use variables in the templates then open the file for reading and substitute the variables in the text with some data saved in matching variables in my script?
Is there a module that would help with this? If someone can get me generally started I usually can continue on my own. I haven't written any code for this function as of yet, but I will post some when I do.

Take a look at it... I'm sure there are others... Good luck. jwm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
