in reply to url get with string

inside single quotes the $ is just more text, not the start of a variable name

Try 

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "https://www.google.com/?name=$nam
+e");

or 
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://www.google.com/?name='.$n
+ame);

    i tried it bt failed. lets say if the link is like this

    $fname = "john";
$lname = "doe";
$ctry = "canada";
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://www.google.com/?firstname
+=$fname&lastname=$lname&country=$ctry')

    [download]

    but works with no $ string

    my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'https://www.google.com/?firstname=john&lastname=deo&country=canada')

      Try splitting up your problem in two parts:

      $fname = "john";
$lname = "doe";
$ctry = "canada";
my $url = 'https://www.google.com/?firstname=$fname&lastname=$lname&co
+untry=$ctry';
print "Requesting ", $url, "\n";
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);

      Also, you might want to learn about single and double quotes and how they differ in behaviour: 

      my $single_quoted = 'https://www.google.com/?firstname=$fname&lastname
+=$lname&country=$ctry';
my $double_quoted = "https://www.google.com/?firstname=$fname&lastname
+=$lname&country=$ctry";

print 'Single quotes:', $single_quoted, "\n";
print "Double quotes:", $double_quoted, "\n";

      It fails because you are still using single quotes.
