Hm, think about it this way:
open my $FILE, '<', $name_of_file_with_functions_in_it or die ("Crap:
+$!");
while (<$FILE>) {
s/\bC\b/$z/g; # replace the *word* "C" with the contents of $z
print $_;
}
close $FILE;
This prints the output to STDOUT
If you want to replace 'C' with the literal string '$z', then you just have to escape the $ in the above (\$z).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
