Well, generally, in Perl one can use the ${ ... } notation to signify when the 
name of the variable inside the interpolation ends. So if for example I want 
to have something like :

	$myvar . "hello" . $q . "Sagiv"

I can write it as:

	"${myvar}hello${q}Sagiv"

Whereas:

	"$myvarhello$qSagiv"

Will be interpreted as the variable $myvarhello followed by $qSagiv.
