how to print $ sigh in the output

[Jamal Uddin <ud...@chem.wisc.edu>]

Hello,

I am writing a perl script which will produce some scripts or files containing "$" but I failed because "$" is used as an operator. Can any one please let me know how to define $ as a simple character. Supposed, I asked to print $PATH in my output. Thank you.

' and \ are your friends....

print '$PATH' or
print "\$PATH"

The O'REILLY book 'Learning Perl' is a good one.... I would suggest
reading it...
