SNMP Perl module and MIB navigation

Oups, I think I posted to the wrong list (net-snmp-coders instead of users).

This is working fine. Now in the mib2c utility, how can I escape the $ sign
to have output as litteral? I did try the $$, single-quoting and \$
sequences without success.

For example, I want to output a line like:

ATTR(=,$ENTERPRISE),VALUE(=,"$var");

where $var is actually replaced by the value of the variable and $ENTERPRISE
must be output as a litteral not trying to interpret it as a variable.
