Excellent! That worked.
I also had to add "export" to the printf statement and removed the quotes surrounding the variable values. So my .awk file ended up:

BEGIN {
FS="[{}]"
nt=split("Pkg%dName Pkg%dRelease Pkg%dType Pkg%dParent", tmplA, " ")
}
{
for(i=2; i<=NF; i+=2) {
n=split($i, a, " ")
for(j=1; j<=n; j++)
printf("export %s=%s\n", sprintf(tmplA[j], i/2), a[j])
}

Thanks so much for your prompt help!

Mixin::Linewise::Readers(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Mixin::Linewise::Readers(3pm)

NAME
Mixin::Linewise::Readers - get linewise readers for strings and filenames SYNOPSIS
package Your::Pkg; use Mixin::Linewise::Readers -readers; sub read_handle { my ($self, $handle) = @_; LINE: while (my $line = $handle->getline) { next LINE if $line =~ /^#/; print "non-comment: $line"; } } Then: use Your::Pkg; Your::Pkg->read_file($filename); Your::Pkg->read_string($string); Your::Pkg->read_handle($fh); EXPORTS
"read_file" and "read_string" are exported by default. Either can be requested individually, or renamed. They are generated by Sub::Exporter, so consult its documentation for more information. Both can be generated with the option "method" which requests that a method other than "read_handle" is called with the created IO::Handle. read_file Your::Pkg->read_file($filename); If generated, the "read_file" export attempts to open the named file for reading, and then calls "read_handle" on the opened handle. Any arguments after $filename are passed along after to "read_handle". read_string Your::Pkg->read_string($string); If generated, the "read_string" creates an IO::String handle from the given string, and then calls "read_handle" on the opened handle. Any arguments after $string are passed along after to "read_handle". BUGS
Bugs should be reported via the CPAN bug tracker at <http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Mixin-Linewise> For other issues, or commercial enhancement or support, contact the author. AUTHOR
