s/\$(\w+)/${$1}/g;

Symbolic references like ${$1} are a bad idea, and that's why strict disallows them.

    More specifically it doesn't work with lexical (my) variables - you will need to use package variables instead.

    ok thanks!... then someone needs to update perldoc -q "expand variable" because i just quickly copied and pasted it ;-)

    i didn't even test the code.. since it looked so obvious. but, once more!, ppl slap me around the ears saying: "use strict" and try out your code !
    one day i'll learn... one day ;-)
