I'm not sure of the context of this assignment, but I just knocked out
this quickie:


#!/usr/bin/perl

$test = "<A HREF=\"$ENV{HOME}/foo/bar/baz.html\">Database</a>";
print "test: $test\n";



and when I run it (as root) it comes back with:

test: <A HREF="/root/foo/bar/baz.html">Database</a>


So it appears to work for me (at least on my Linux box). I'd
doublecheck your " and \" and make sure you are doing a "legit"
substitution within "live" doublequotes...
