1. ALWAYS have "use strict" and "use warnings" as the first 2 lines in your
script.
2. This will fix your problem as Perl wants variables to be declared in the
form of "$varable", "@variable" or "%variable".
So try this:
my $CREATEDINQUALIFIER;
my $created_in;
$CREATEDINQUALIFIER = $created_in = $ENV{'LOCAL_DB_ID'};
(unless I did not understand your problem).
Regards!

Subject: Expanding environment variables
Hi Perl GURU's,
In my Perl script, I read a text file and parse each line
delimited by the first "=" character and create environment variables
for each line of data. My question is: is there a way to expand the
environment variable when trying to assign an environment variable value
as part of the line of data?
Example:
Text file example:
DB_ID="tst"
#
#
MODIFIED_TIME=-3:0:0:0
#
CREATEDINQUALIFIER=created_in=$ENV{'LOCAL_DB_ID'}
$ENV{'CREATEDINQUALIFIER'} gives me "created_in=$ENV{'LOCAL_DB_ID'}"
value. I'll like it to receive the following value "created_in=tst";
Any suggestions?
