convert variable to $00.00?	Can't Post

I'm using javascript to calculate totals for a bookstore. We want to submit Total to a credit card company but their program will not accept variable names, only 00.00 format. We use a .pl script to submit the data and generate response emails.
How do you convert the variable "Total" into the actual value (eg. $100.00) so it can be submitted like this:
<input type=hidden name="amt" value="100.00" >
I've seen this done with .pl shopping cart programs but can't figure out how they're doing it.

in your code that displays the form you simply put the variable name in the value field.

<input type="hidden" name="amt" value="$amount">

Now when you run your script the form will be displayed as:

<input type="hidden" name="amt" value="100.00">
