{code}
\n#! \/usr\/bin\/perl -w

my $inputFile = \"test.properties\";<\/p>\n

#############################################
\n# Get the variables passed from property file
\n#############################################
\nmy @parmList = &read_parameters;<\/p>\n

##############################################################
\n# populate hash map
\n##############################################################
\n%parameters = @parmList;<\/p>\n

#print the property1 value from test.properties
\nprint \"$parameters{\"property1\"}\"\\n\"<\/p>\n
