The easy way is to quote it:
$a =~ s/\Q$(workspace)\E/c:\\p4\\abc/;
or you could insert the escapes by hand:
$a =~ s/\$\(workspace\)/c:\\p4\\abc/;
And to make it more readable, use the /x switch to allow whitespace:
my $base_dir = 'c:\p4\abc';
$a =~ s{ \$ \( workspace \) }{$base_dir}x;
See `perdoc perlre` and search for:
/\\Q/ under the 'Regular Expresions' section;
and /\/x/ under the 'Modifiers' section.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
