Not sure how to help you I do not that it is not very common to refer to
$ as dollar unless your talking about dollars. Generally when dealing
with computers it is a representation of the word string and is spoken
as such.

String-underscore.

Subject: pronunciation guide


Does anyone know of a pronunciation guide for the special variables and
such in Perl? I came up empty on Google. I've been learning Perl by
reading and doing, but I haven't talked to anyone face-to-face, so I'm
not sure, for example, if $_ is spoken "dollar-underscore", or if people
typically say something else--like "<=>" is a "spaceship", or "#!" is a
"shebang".
