Use two $$.
if ( $line =~ /$$myVariable/ ) {

If I do that won't it look for the 'value' of $variable?
I need it to find the actual string '$variable' not what $variable contains.
Any other ideas?

To simplify the question and not get off track I need to see if a

If($string =~ m/\$variable/) { print "Yes \$variable exists"; }
Don't escape the $ in the RE.
