When you use the double-quote -- " -- you can use $variables, but with 
the single-quotes -- ' -- the variables are ignored.

$ cat -n d6.pl ; perl d6.pl
    1  #!perl
    2  $VAR="Hello";
    3  printf "single quotes: SERIALNUMBER=\"asdf $VAR 123123123\"\n";
    4  printf 'double quotes: SERIALNUMBER="asdf $VAR 123123123"';
    5  printf "\n";
    6  printf 'mixed  quotes: SERIALNUMBER="asdf '.$VAR.' 123123123"'."\n";

single quotes: SERIALNUMBER="asdf Hello 123123123"
double quotes: SERIALNUMBER="asdf $VAR 123123123"
mixed  quotes: SERIALNUMBER="asdf Hello 123123123"

I'm sure someone will come up with an internal perl variable to change 
the meaning of the double-quote characters, or some other Guru-level 
hint. :-)
