stumped on passing arguments

2000-12-06 09:35:50
I am stumped with Procmail again.  This time trying to have an argument
expanded before being passed to a called program.

I have a working recipe, like this

:0 wfb
| perl  -M"Text::Autoformat" -e'autoformat{left=>1, right=>65, all=>1}'


which works just fine by calling the Perl Module Text::Autoformat.

I want to make the right margin a variable, like this

RMARGIN=65
:0 wfb
| perl  -M"Text::Autoformat" -e'autoformat{left=>1, right=>$RMARGIN, all=>1}'



The theory seems to be to wrap double quotes around the arguments, and
sometimes  maybe double quotes around the single quotes.

I do believe that I have tried all possible combinations of wrapping the
above with various combinations of quotes without success.

Is the above possible ?

Thanks for any insights.
