What am I doing wrong here?

Putting a variable name into a single-quoted string and expecting it to
resolve to the contents of said variable instead of being treated as a

Please look at this.

Here is the code:

my $stmt = qq('SELECT employee_key from employee where id = $user ;');
elog( NOTICE, "stmt = $stmt" );
my $rv3 = spi_exec_query($stmt);
