I am unable to reproduce your issue.

Constructing a test data file from your snippet above:

'qweqwe', 'rtyr tyr',
'\'asdasd', 'fghfghfgh'

[download]

And constructing a Perl script from your snippet:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

open my $file, '<', 'test1.dat';
my @data=do $file;
close $file;

print Dumper \@data;

exit;
__END__

[download]

Produces:

D:\PerlMonks>read1.pl
$VAR1 = [
          undef
        ];

D:\PerlMonks>

[download]

This looks nothing like the problem you described.

I must be guessing wrong about what your script is doing. Please see How do I post a question effectively?
