I have a file consisting of a question on each line. I have created an array with the contents of this file. Some questions are having a \t or \n character.

my $filename_mh_sc_8_qnt = 'mh_science_8_qnt.txt';
open my $mh_sc_8_qnt, '<', $filename_mh_sc_8_qnt or die "Cannot open '
+$filename_mh_sc_8_qnt' for reading: $!";
      
my @Science = <$mh_sc_8_qnt>;
my @shuffle = shuffle @Science; #shuffle the questions
my $counter = 1; #number the question.
foreach my $qnt (@shuffle){
        print $counter, ".  " . $qnt ."\n\n";
        $counter++;
    };
print "\n";

The questions with \t and \n characters are not converting to tab and new line. example

Give reasons: \n\n\t(a) Grooves are made in tyres.\n\t(b) Gymnasts apply a coarse substance on their hands.

How can print function convert the \t \n in such case. Thanks
