Well, you can use the @{[ ... ]} trick:
print "2 + 3 = @{[ 2 + 3 ]}\n";
or you can use the Interpolate module (found on CPAN), which allows you to
use a "fake" hash to evaluate code. This example uses %=, but you could
use any hash you wanted to.
print "2 + 3 = $={2+3}\n";
Read the Interpolate docs for the full story.
