sa-update knows what LOCAL_STATE_DIR is, and sa-update is simply Perl code, so how about just taking its setting of LOCAL_STATE_DIR and eval'ing it? my $LOCAL_STATE_DIR; my $setlocalstatedir = `grep '^my \$LOCAL_STATE_DIR' /usr/bin/sa-update`; $setlocalstatedir =~ s/^my //; # Remove leading "my" so that $LOCAL_STATE_DIR isn't scoped locally to eval block eval $setlocalstatedir; Or is that too much of a hack?
