commit ab745e729a98232d4a5914b3692e6a13a77589bb
Author: Kerin Millar <kfm@plushkava.net>

    Don't rely on support for indirect expansion in the shell
    
    POSIX does not define the indirect expansion syntax. Moreover, if going
    to the trouble of executing Perl, one may as well take full advantage of
    it. To that end, have Perl perform the replacement without utilising any
    form of code injection. Instead, export 'name' into Perl's environment.
    That way, Perl can reference the variable name as $ENV{name} and its
    value as $ENV{$ENV{name}}.
