Gabe,
A possible solution here is to create an attribute to represent a dollar
that has a value that's dependent on the backend.
ifdef::basebackend-html[:d: \$]
ifdef::basebackend-docbook[:d: $]
[subs="attributes,specialcharacters"]
[source,perl]
----
{d}foo = "bar";
----
You can avoid the explicit subs on every source block by overriding the
default subs for a source block in asciidoc.conf.
If another solution comes to mind, I'll be sure to mention it.
