What you're probably looking for is a way to load data into your template from variables. But you're going about this the wrong way. Use a hash to store the data, and regex to substitute: 
use strict;
use warnings;

my %vars = (
    var1 => 'MyValue',
);

my $here_is = <<SOME_TEXT;

    I want to print something 
    with a value %var1%
    and some other text load
    etc etc

SOME_TEXT

$here_is =~ s/%(\w+?)%/$vars{$1}/g;
print $here_is;

You may also want to look at loading the template from a file or __DATA__, so you're not forced to allow the extra line break that <<TAG makes mandatory.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
