[MacPerl] arithmetic within a string?

["Paul N. Schatz" <pns@virginia.edu> (by way of Vicki Brown)]

$do = 3.4*5.6;
print "3.4*5.6 = $do\n"; # gives 3.4*5.6 = 19.04
****************

	Am I correct that there is no way to have the arithmetic occur
within the string?

For example

print "3.4*5.6 = `3.4*5.6`\n"; # gives 3.4*5.6 = `3.4*5.6`---Not = 19.04.
