This will search it out:
$textarea =~ m/&member&/i;
But to do a search/replace, you'd do:
$textarea =~ s/&member&/$member/i;
Remember that that will only search and replace the FIRST occurance of
&member&. To do it more than once you need to use the /g (Global) modifier:
$textarea =~ s/&member&/$member/ig; #/ig instead of just /i
