Garrett, Sorry for the late reply. This is exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I could not find this under the common documentation for its function as Interpret, Variable Interpretation, Interpolation, or equate that are commonly referred to this in other languages. I am not sure what terminology Perl refers to this as. If you know that would be great so I could read up on what variations are available.
