Am reading in x2 TAB delimited text files. I'd like to compare the differences of a value from these x2 files then show the entire records of the differences. I have 2 key defined: 

sub Read_File {
    my $FILE = shift ;
    open (my $fh, "<", $FILE) || die "$!" ;
    my %hRec ;
    while (<$fh>) {
        chomp;
        my @RecLine=split (/;/) ;
        my @RecLine=split ('\t') ;
        $CmpKey=$RecLine[$Key] ;
        $CmpKey2=$RecLine[$Key2] ;
        $CmpValue=$RecLine[$Cmp] ;
        $hRec{$CmpKey,";",$CmpKey2}=$CmpValue;
    }
    return (%hRec) ;
}

foreach my $key (sort {$a<=>$b} keys %hBase) {  print "$key -> $hBase{
+$key}\n"; }
foreach my $key (sort {$a<=>$b} keys %hPost) {  print "$key -> $hPost{
+$key}\n"; }

The above will print the keys & value. But I get this weird white-space '^\'?

E.g. 
NR^\;^\INVOICE_TXT -> CHARGE
1^\;^\Access Charge -> .083
1^\;^\Service Charge -> .042
2^\;^\Access Charge -> .083
2^\;^\Service Charge -> 0

How can I remove the '^\' ? Thanks
