Having just needed something along these lines, and after reading through the Dreaming of Post Interpolation thread, I think I've settled on using something like this:
@lines = <<TEXT_INFO;
Dear \$person,
I know that this text is \$adjective.
But I wish it could be...
This is a test of imbedded variables
I want to set \\\$variable later, and then have it interepreted when
+ printed
variable was set to \$variable
TEXT_INFO
$variable = 5;
my $person = 'Mom';
my $adjective = 'not interpolated';
foreach $line (@lines) {
print eval "qq{$line}";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
