Thank you sir.
I see what you're doing.
1. you set the template
2. you set the variables
3. there's a "for-loop"
a. I guess now I have to familiarize myself with variable assignment and regular expreession matching to figure out what is going on within the curly brackets and with the "%" and "-" characters.
After taking off the "echo" command and assigning the the right path, it does spit out the 4 files I wanted...
Thanks again for your help!

perl::critic::policy::variables::prohibitevilvariables
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables(3User Contributed Perl DocumentaPerl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables(3pm)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables - Ban variables that aren't blessed by your shop.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Use this policy if you wish to prohibit the use of specific variables. These may be global variables warned against in "perlvar", or just
variables whose names you do not like.
CONFIGURATION
The set of prohibited variables is configurable via the "variables" and "variables_file" options.
The value of "variables" should be a string of space-delimited, fully qualified variable names and/or regular expressions. An example of
prohibiting two specific variables in a .perlcriticrc file:
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = $[ $^S $SIG{__DIE__}
If you prohibit an array or hash (e.g. @INC), use of elements of the array or hash will be prohibited as well. If you specify a subscripted
variable (e.g. $SIG{__DIE__}), only the literal subscript specified will be detected. The above <.perlcritic> file, for example, will
cause "perlcritic(1)" to detect "$SIG{__DIE__} = &foo", but not
my $foo = '__DIE__';
$SIG{$foo} = &foo;
Regular expressions are identified by values beginning and ending with slashes. Any variable with a name that matches "m/pattern/sm" will
be forbidden. For example:
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = /acme/
would cause all variables that match "m/acme/" to be forbidden. If you want a case-blind check, you can use (?i: ... ). For example
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = /(?i:acme)/
forbids variables that match "m/acme/smi".
In addition, you can override the default message ("Prohibited variable "variable" used") with your own, in order to give suggestions for
alternative action. To do so, put your message in curly braces after the variable name or regular expression. Like this:
[Variables::ProhibitEvilVariables]
variables = $[ {Found use of $[. Program to base index 0 instead}
If your message contains curly braces, you can enclose it in parentheses, angle brackets, or square brackets instead.
Similarly, the "variables_file" option gives the name of a file containing specifications for prohibited variables. Only one variable
specification is allowed per line and comments start with an octothorp and run to end of line; no curly braces are necessary for delimiting
messages:
$[ # Prohibit the "$[" variable and use the default message.
# Prohibit the "$^S" variable and give a replacement message.
$^S Having to think about $^S in exception handlers is just wrong
# Use a regular expression.
/acme/ No coyotes allowed.
By default, there are no prohibited variables, although I can think of a few that should be. See "perldoc perlvar" for a few suggestions.
RESTRICTIONS
Variables of the form "${^foo}" are not recognized by PPI as of version 1.206. When PPI recognizes these, this policy will Just Work for
them too.
Only direct references to prohibited variables and literal subscripts will be recognized. For example, if you prohibit $[, the first line
in
my $foo = $[;
$$foo = 1;
will be flagged as a violation, but not the second, even though the second, in fact, assigns to $[. Similarly, if you prohibit
$SIG{__DIE__}, this policy will not recognize
my $foo = '__DIE__';
$SIG{$foo} = sub {warn 'I cannot die!'};
as an assignment to $SIG{__DIE__}.
NOTES
This policy leans heavily on Perl::Critic::Policy::Modules::ProhibitEvilModules by Jeffrey Ryan Thalhammer.
