In Perl if I do this:

print "$variable\n";

I get the contents of $variable

How do I print $variable as a text string and not it's contents?

For example, in Visual Basic, I can do this

Dim Name As String

Name = "James Rickland"

Print "Name = " & Name

and it appears like this: Name = James Rickland

This is what I want to do in Perl

print "$variable = $variable\n";

How to show $variable = as text
