Mohtashims,
This is at least the second thread in which you have used constructs like
to modify variables only to have others show how parameter expansions can do the same thing. Please read the manual page for your shell, e.g.
and in the man page browser, type
That is slash followed by two spaces followed by "parameter expansion". This should take you to the section on parameter expansion, which will show how you can manipulate the contents of a shell variable within the shell you are scripting in. By using these constructs you will produce faster, cleaner code, and perhaps reduce some of the problems these other constructs introduce.
Who knows? Maybe in the near future you will be helping other members of this forum with their shell-variable manipulation.

Locale::Currency(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Currency(3perl)NAME
Locale::Currency - standard codes for currency identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Currency;
$curr = code2currency('usd'); # $curr gets 'US Dollar'
$code = currency2code('Euro'); # $code gets 'eur'
@codes = all_currency_codes();
@names = all_currency_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Currency" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying currencies and funds, such as those defined in ISO
4217.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 4217
three-letter codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying currencies. The ones currently supported are:
alpha
This is a set of three-letter (uppercase) codes from ISO 4217 such as EUR for Euro.
Two of the codes specified by the standard (XTS which is reserved for testing purposes and XXX which is for transactions where no
currency is involved) are omitted.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_CURR_ALPHA".
This is the default code set.
num This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 4217.
This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_CURR_NUMERIC".
ROUTINES
code2currency ( CODE [,CODESET] )
currency2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
currency_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_currency_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_currency_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Currency::rename_currency ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Currency::add_currency ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Currency::delete_currency ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Currency::add_currency_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Currency::delete_currency_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Currency::rename_currency_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Currency::add_currency_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Currency::delete_currency_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes man page.
