probably the variable k is not formed correctly. Can you try echo $k and see if you get $DESTDIR/$PKG/$VERSION ? Are you forming the variable k like this : k="\$DESTDIR/\$PKG/\$VERSION" ? if so, the sed command works as expected.

Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::RequireVersionVar(3pm)	User Contributed Perl Documentation  Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::RequireVersionVar(3pm)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::RequireVersionVar - Give every module a "$VERSION" number. AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
Every Perl file (modules, libraries, and programs) should have a package-scoped $VERSION variable. The $VERSION allows clients to insist on a particular revision of your file like this: use SomeModule 2.4; #Only loads version 2.4 This Policy scans your file for any package variable named $VERSION. I'm assuming that you are using "strict", so you'll have to declare it like one of these: our $VERSION = 1.0611; $MyPackage::VERSION = 1.061; use vars qw($VERSION); use version; our $VERSION = qv(1.0611); Perl's version system does not recognize lexical variables such as my $VERSION = 1.0611; so they are not accepted by this policy. A common practice is to use the "$Revision: 4106 $" keyword to automatically define the $VERSION variable like this: our ($VERSION) = '$Revision: 4106 $' =~ m{ $Revision: s+ (S+) }x; CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. NOTES
Conway recommends using the "version" pragma instead of raw numbers or 'v-strings.' However, this Policy only insists that the $VERSION be defined somehow. I may try to extend this in the future. TO DO
Add check that $VERSION is independently evaluatable. In particular, prohibit this: our $VERSION = $Other::Module::VERSION; This doesn't work because PAUSE and other tools literally copy your version declaration out of your module and evaluates it in isolation, at which point there's nothing in "Other::Module", and so the $VERSION is undefined.
