This one works:

perl -ne 'BEGIN{ $s=q ~(.*)$/'"'"',$lines,$matches)        10.(.*)$/'"
+'"',$lines,$matches)     (.*)$/'"'"',$lines,$matches)~};print unless 
+/\Q$s\E/' input.txt

Instead of doing an in-place replace , You can redirect the output of this to the final file.

It seems like "\Q" and the "$" symbol do not interact well when directly in a RE.

If you put the "$" symbols outside \Q..\E , it seems to work.

Here is the quote from http://www.perl.com/doc/manual/html/pod/perlre.html

You cannot include a literal $ or @ within a \Q sequence. An unescaped $ or @ interpolates the corresponding variable, while escaping will cause the literal string \$ to be matched. You'll need to write something like m/\Quser\E\@\Qhost/.

So, this one works too ..(But it sure is UGLY!)

 perl -ne 'print unless m~\Q(.*)\E\$/'"'"',\$lines,\$matches\Q)       
+ 10.(.*)\E\$/'"'"',\$lines,\$matches\Q)     (.*)\E\$/'"'"',\$lines,\$
+matches\)~x' input.txt
