Substituting a variable in s///g 2

[lgeorge26]

Is it possible to substitute a variable in
s///g;
i.e for eg
$var="*";
$str="abc1230-9ASA*new";

$str=~ s/$var//g;
print $str;

output should be

abc1230-9ASAnew

Not sure if it's the best or brightest way but:
$var= '\*';
$str='abc1230-9ASA*new';

$str=~ s/$var//g;
print $str;

$var = "*";
$str = "abc1230-9ASA*new";
$str =~ s/\Q$var\E//g;
print $str;
