commit 16fac974cd5c11bddaa04105cd27d65f9cc73243
Author: Kerin Millar <kfm@plushkava.net>
Date:   Sun Jan 3 11:02:25 2021 +0000

    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. Address the issue by first having the shell export the variable.
    Next, have Perl perform the replacement without utilising any form of
    code injection. Instead, export 'var' into Perl's environment. That
    way, Perl can reference the variable name as $ENV{var} and its value as
    $ENV{$ENV{var}}.
