I know I could do that, but what if I don't know the variable names
in the string?
$sql=~s/\$Status/$Status/;
could I do:
$sql=~s/\$(\S+)/${$1}/;

I want to pull some text from a database:
RxNumber in (select RxNumber FROM restoreReports WHERE Status in
$Status)
then I want perl to use this string and interpolate the variables
($Status).
so:
my $Status= "('New','Old')";
my $sql=get_SQL_String(); #will get 'RxNumber in (select RxNumber
FROM restoreReports WHERE Status in $Status)'
$sql=~s/\$Status/$Status/;
(first time as literal string, second time as perl variable defined
in the
surrounding context)
see
perldoc perlre
print $sql;
# should print:
RxNumber in (select RxNumber FROM restoreReports WHERE Status in
('New','Old'))
What can I do?
