<p>A setup like this:</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>$bar = "Foo"
Cactus::terminate = "$bar"
</pre></div>
<p>will complain </p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span>WARNING[L1,P0] (Cactus): Major error in parameter file 'par/tov.par' line 2: Range error setting parameter 'Cactus::terminate' to 'Foo'
</pre></div>
<p>instead of the expected “$bar”. Double quotes should protect <code>$</code> signs so that is possible to pass strings containing <code>$</code> to thorns (for whatever reason).</p>
