You could try doing a here-script type of thing:
my $token = "__UNIQUE_TOKEN__";
$token .= "_" while $str =~ /$token/;
chomp (my $new_str = eval qq(<<"$token"\n$str\n$token));
(I haven't tested that, but it feels like it might work).
What I usually do for this type of thing is to not rely on lexical variables in my program, and instead set up a separate hash of legal variables:
my %vars = ( var => "foo" );
$str = 'abc $var def';
(my $new_str = $str) =~ /\$(\w+)/$vars{$1}/g;
--Dave Opinions my own; statements of fact may be in error.

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).
