Ooops, I forgot to use plain text when I sent this the first time. Sorry if this appears twice.
I want read some variable names and values out of a flat (xml) file and assign them. I suppose I could write $s = "$x = 23"; eval $s; Is this the best way? Is there a better way? In lisp, I would use the set function instead of the setq function to assign a value to a variable whose name is stored in a string. Is there a counterpart to the lisp set function in Perl?
