That is incorrect.  Double quotes inside of single quotes are treated as
text characters, not as Perl operators.  The reverse is also true --
single quotes embedded inside of a string delimited with double quotes
will still interpolate:

my $query = "SELECT * FROM host_table WHERE hostname ='$host' and domain =
'$domain'";

However, this does interpolate:

my $string = 'Some text', " $var with more text ", 'more text';
