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}";
}

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
