   :Um, OK, except my example used a quoted brace-bracketed string with variable
   :interpolation deferred until a later point. Can you do deferred variable
   :interpolation in Perl?

   Sure; just use q{no interp on $var for now}, and then interpolate it later,
   probably with things like

       $string = q{no interp on $var for now};
       .....
       $newstring = eval qq{"$string"};

Umm - won't this do?

  $string = sub { "no interp on $var for now " }
  ....
  $newstring = &$string;
