Option pricing with interest rate term structure

I would like to price a simple equity option with interest rate term structure.

I assume that the pricing engine will get the interest rate from the term structure provided. So if i provide piecewise linear term structure, the engine will get the rate from this piecewise curve.

Can somebody confirm this? Most ql examples of equity option uses flat int rate.

Thanks,
Pushpendu

Yes, the option is going to use the rate corresponding to its maturity.
