I have a giant chunk of HTML, tags, quotes and all. I have done this:

my $page = ## the contents of the entire page in a string ##;
my $old_text = qq ( LOTSOFHTML );
my $new_code = qq ( LOTSTOREPLACEWITH );
[download]

I cannot get  $page =~ s/$old_text/$new_code/g to work for the life of me. Should I use quotemeta instead, or simply 'q' instead of 'qq'.

Thanks
