Useless use of quotes!!!

The quotes around that variable name are TOTALLY unnecessary, and will only cause you trouble later, eventually.

$hash{$key}

is PERFECTLY fine, and is preferred over

$hash{"$key"}

Make a note of this!

Nevermind, I found out how to do it. If anyone wants to know, here's how:

$FORM{\"$variable\"}

Thanks for trying anyway, japhy!

Perhaps you should leave off the single quotes.

$FORM{$variable};

If you're asking how to "come up" with the %FORM hash, I'd stay away from that, and use the standard CGI.pm module:

use CGI 'param';
# ...
print param($variable);
