Perhaps there is whitespace in your key names that is being hidden by the \t you're printing?

Try using the loop to print "key='$key', value='$value'\n"; in order to make it perfectly clear.

    Thank you for the suggestions. I did, at one point, remove the tab character to check for trailing spaces and there were none.
