Escape Characters Add Line Breaks

doubleqq has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

I am not sure why, but when I attempt to escape a quote, a line break is added to my string where I really don't want a line break. Any help in formatting my string is much appreciated

This is what I am trying to do:

INPUT:
0060
0067
0068

##Troublesome code##

foreach (@pbArray){
    push (@qxArray, "vc.get(\"$_\") Exists() && vc.get(\"$_\") getMin 
+> 20");
}

chomp @qxArray;
foreach (@qxArray){
       print $_;
}

OUTPUT
vc.get("0060
") Exists () && vc.get("0060
") getMin > 20
vc.get("0067
") Exists () && vc.get("0067
") getMin > 20
vc.get("0068
") Exists () && vc.get("0068
") getMin > 20

EXPECTED OUTPUT:
vc.get("0060") Exists () && vc.get("0060") getMin > 20
vc.get("0067") Exists () && vc.get("0067") getMin > 20
vc.get("0068") Exists () && vc.get("0068") getMin > 20

I am likely escaping the double quotes in error, but I cannot see how to do it differently. Thank you for any insight!"
