Title: How to put special characters($, @, #) into a variable?

Content:

Hi, Monks: Did a search and didn't come up with anything so I am asking you perl monks here. How can I put a special character into a variable? Say I want $ascalar="myemail@gmail.com". I can't get the value I want since perl thinks @gmail as an array. Please help how I can get this done. Thanks. --neverminda
