OK, first off, I'm a bit confused, because your first line says 'Testing\z'. Perhaps you meant 'Testing\n' ?
With that out of the way, you are missing something -- or rather, the document you just quoted is missing something.
It handles three cases:
- Any character OTHER than a backslash or termination character is inserted literally. (The termination character is normally ' but may differ if q// is used.)
- Any backslash followed by the termination character inserts the termination character.
- Any backslash followed by a backslash inserts a backslash.
What it doesn't tell you is the fourth case:
- Any backslash followed by a character OTHER than the termination character or a backslash inserts a backslash and that literal character.
The reason for the double-backslash thing is in case you wanted to include a backslash at the end of the string.
For example:
$foo = 'C:\\'; # if you had 'C:\' then the ' would instead be escaped
+instead of ending the string.

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).
