[MacPerl] scalar question

[Andrew Fiore <beany@nando.net>]

Hi everyone.  I'm writing a script that contains some text in a variable 
$buf:
$FORM{'fname'} $FORM{'lname'} was, tragically enough, unable to finish 
*poss*
$FORM{'adj1'} assignment for $FORM{'subject'} class.

I'm trying to get it to print the text with the $FORM keyed array values 
inserted, but it always prints it literally.  how do i force it to 
evaluate?

I've tried both
print $buf;
and
print "$buf";

neither works.

thanks for your help.
