copy.pl

Description

Copy.pl is a HFPM module that sets some given field(s) or environmental variable(s) to the value of another field or environmental variable.

copy.pl $srcfield | srcfld | %srcenvvar {$destfield | destfld | %destenvvar} in the pipeline.

The value of the first argument is set to the rest of the arguments.

A '%' prefix indicates the destination is an environmental variable and a '$' prefix means a field destination, which is the default.

copy.pl $afield %var h: sets the environmental variable "var" and the field "h" to the value of the field "afield".
copy.pl %one $two: sets the field "two" to the value of the environmental variable "one".

The current version number is 1.0.

This module should work on any platform with a perl version 5 and CGI FPI implementation.

This module can be used more than once in the pipeline.
