what exactly you want to do ? I mean what is the scenario and expected output ?

Here you are trying something and its not working, there could be better way of doing same if we know what you want.

Going back to your question, $ENV is perl hash to get environments variables. I am not sure what is $ENV1 ? or you are just doing it for testing?

you missed 2nd separator below ,

I get the prompt and it does not replace the text

This is just a test, if I can get it to work then I will add more that I have tried and it did work.
