    Hello,

    I tried searching for this but was a little out of luck.

    Id like to replace "XXX" in a file with "Name1 Name2 <name1@company.com>".
    Its a little silly but i am doing this in perl using perl ->

    $name = "Name1 Name2"
    $login= "name1";

    system "perl -p -e \'s/XXX/$name\<$login\@company.com\>/g\' file.html > file1.html"

    The @company is getting interpreted (i guess as a variable) and i just get
    $login.com

    Can someone help me with this? I am sure there are better ways to do it too.

    thanks,
    tarak
