I am storing text stings in a database.  when I have the string:

'some perl $variable'

which would print as:

some perl $variable

how can I force interpolation of '$variable'?

one idea I thought of was:
#!/usr/bin/perl

my $var='variable';
$string='some $var';
$string=~s/\$(\w+)/${$1}/gi;
print "$string\n";


But it doesn't work.  I want it to print "some variable".
