# Why does the escape the $ character if it is meant to how can

If I understand your problem, just change the 'q' to 'qq'. Perl will
only do one level of interpolation (substitution) on variables:
$foo='x';
$bar='$foo'; #single quotes=no interpolation
print "foo $bar"; #prints 'foo $foo', not 'foo x'
