Ah, I see your problem right there. Perl doesn't HAVE a search function
(it does have a s/// regular expression, but that doesn't seem to be
related to your question).

The message is telling you something useful. Either the dollar-sign
should be escaped ($) or it should precede a variable name ($name). You
surely want to escape it (to treat it as a string-literal) but I don't
know why you're trying to do that division operation.
I suspect you are trying to run some Perl script and pass input. Show
us the relevant part of the script.
