I am currently trying to write a Perl program in a Solaris 9
environment
I am trying to process a list of variables with UNIX environment
variables embedded in them of the form
$dir_to_check = "$ENV_VAR1/some_dir/$ENV_VAR2/another_dir";
and I am trying to find if another_dir exists, so I have a line of
code that tries to do something like this:

if (-e $dir_to_check) { do some stuff }

which is not working even though the directory that I am checking for
does indeed exist.


Is there something simple that I am just missing, or is there a
problem with Perl not evaluating the environment
variables embedded in the path that I am check?
