You can start and stop the quotes whenever you want without chopping up the resulting string. (Unless any of the variables contain spaces, in which case it will still get chopped up.)
You can also try double quotes, which do allow substitution, and won't ever chop up the string:
If there's things in your URL which do funny things in double quotes, you can escape them with \ so they're interpreted literally.

Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterUsertContrPerl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars(3pm)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars - Warns that you might have used single quotes when you really
wanted double-quotes.
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
This policy warns you if you use single-quotes or "q//" with a string that has unescaped metacharacters that may need interpolation. Its
hard to know for sure if a string really should be interpolated without looking into the symbol table. This policy just makes an educated
guess by looking for metacharacters and sigils which usually indicate that the string should be interpolated.
Exceptions
o Variable names to "use vars":
use vars '$x'; # ok
use vars ('$y', '$z'); # ok
use vars qw< $a $b >; # ok
o Things that look like e-mail addresses:
print 'john@foo.com'; # ok
$address = 'suzy.bar@baz.net'; # ok
CONFIGURATION
The "rcs_keywords" option allows you to stop this policy from complaining about things that look like RCS variables, for example, in
deriving values for $VERSION variables.
For example, if you've got code like
our ($VERSION) = (q<$Revision: 4106 $> =~ m/(d+)/mx);
You can specify
[ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars]
rcs_keywords = Revision
in your .perlcriticrc to provide an exemption.
NOTES
Perl's own "warnings" pragma also warns you about this.
