We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Perhaps you could add an example on how to apply it to the OPs code (your answer ended up in my "low quality review" queue because it was so short ...)

This seems irrelevant to the question at hand, which does not mention PHP at all.

I can imagine using php to "enable a script to generate other scripts", if the OP is OK with using PHP as the primary generator-script. The question is tagged bash, and probably assumes a shell as the generator, but mentions perl, which seems to me to open the door to using other scripting languages.
