    use strict;
use warnings;

print <<'_PHP1_';
<?php

$client_aero = 'Aeropostale';
$aero_total = '72';
$aero_average = '70';

?>
_PHP1_

# Alternative using double quotes
# Use this if you want to send perl variables to PHP
my ($perl_client, $perl_total, $perl_avg) = ('Aeropostale',72,70);
print <<"_PHP2_";
<?php

\$client_aero = '$perl_client';
\$aero_total = '$perl_total';
\$aero_average = '$perl_avg';

?>
_PHP2_

exit 0;

                    Is a computer language with goto's totally Wirth-less?

      Hello NetWallah,

      I had no idea that he was referring for the actual character $ I though that he was referring to Perl Special Variables Quick Reference. It is nice that you where able to understand what he meant. :)
