No, that's not right. In single quotes, the backslash escapes do not apply (backslash only escapes the ' character). Had he been using double quotes, tabs would have been interpolated for the \t sequence.

Try it:

> perl -de 1
Default die handler restored.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `perldoc perldebug' for more help.

  DB<3> $x = "c:\tab"

  DB<4> p $x

The most likely cause of the problem, as others have pointed out above, is that the script doesn't have permission to read the file it's trying to open, but the error is not being trapped.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
