Try running the following code as a test script:
--- Start code
#!/path/to/perl
my $var = "I'm interpolated";
print 'This is a variable name-> $var';
print "\nThis is a variable value-> $var \n";
-- End code
Your output should be:
This is a variable name-> $var
This is a variable value-> I'm interpolated
