Hi I'm new to Perl and the forum. I've done a quick search on my question but I didn't see an answer. I sincerely apologize if this question has been asked.
I'm trying to have my perl scrip recognize system variable $USER such that:
my $test_path = "/temp/\$USER/g03/Gau-11097.EIn";
open (TEST, "<$test_path") || die
where $USER is my username on the unix server. Right now my script is treating $USER like a string. Is there anyway for it to recognize $USER as a system variable?
Thank you very much!
