Note sure what I am missing. I tried like below and got the error
<user1@test>perl $string = 'attr1=value1 attr2=value2 attr3=value3 attr4=value4';
ksh: string: parameter not set

Since, I am using ksh as the shell, I am tried as below.
<user1@test>string="attr1=value1 attr2=value2 attr3=value3 attr4=value4"
<user1@test>attr="attr2"
<user1@test>perl ($value) = $string =~ /$attr=([^ ]+) /;
ksh: syntax error: `(' unexpected
<user1@test>

Please let me know on this.

Thanks for your quick reply.
