Perl will interpolate variables in a "double-quote" context. Thus, if you
have the string 'userName' assigned to a scalar variable $x, you can
generate a string containing the value of this variable and assign it to
another variable as follows:
$currentUser = "get value of the $x element";
(it is not clear if the characters < # > ; should be part of the generated
string, so I left them out.)
