My fault. I cut and pasted the original problem specification,
not the corrected one:
  subst('$2, $1 and $3')
Sorry 'bout that.

I have confirmed (-ugene's solution as correct weight, and am
feeling very guilty whittling one stroke from:
  sub subst{join'',map--$|?$_:eval,split/(\$\d+)/,$_[$|=0]}
to:
  sub subst{join'',map--$|?$_:$$_,split/\$(\d+)/,$_[$|=0]}
because it was not my idea. No, I am not saying whose idea it was,
but he is not a regular golfer (to the best of my knowledge).
