I am storing text stings in a database. when I have the string:
'some perl $variable'
which would print as:
some perl $variable
how can I force interpolation of '$variable'?
one idea I thought of was:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $var='variable';
$string='some $var';
$string=~s/\$(\w+)/${$1}/gi;
print "$string\n";
But it doesn't work. I want it to print "some variable".
