Suppose path is c:/test/sandeep
and file name is varfile
use this to access c:/test/sandeep/$varfile
the most generic use is to store constant path into var too
like
dir_path='/export/home/sandeep'
varfile=filename

if you want to use file then you can use in any command like

ls $dir_path/$varfile

File::Slurp::WithinPolicy(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			    File::Slurp::WithinPolicy(3pm)

NAME
File::Slurp::WithinPolicy - Applies filesystem policies to File::Slurp SYNOPSIS
use File::Slurp::WithinPolicy qw(:all); my $text = read_file( 'filename' ); my @lines = read_file( 'filename' ); write_file( 'filename', $text ); append_file( 'filename', $more_text ); overwrite_file( 'filename', $text ); my @files = read_dir( '/path/to/dir' ); DESCRIPTION
This provides the File::Slurp interface within a policy defined by File::Policy. By default, File::Policy is a no-op and this behaves identically to File::Slurp. System administrators may want to override the default File::Policy implementation to enforce a local filesys- tem policy (see File::Policy). FUNCTIONS
read_dir See "read_dir" in File::Slurp read_file See "read_file" in File::Slurp write_file See "write_file" in File::Slurp append_file See "append_file" in File::Slurp overwrite_file See "overwrite_file" in File::Slurp EXPORTS
By default, nothing is exported. The ":all" tag can be used to export everything. Individual methods can also be exported. SEE ALSO
