In the following regex what is the "t" character doing?

There is no regexp - there is a tr operator
perldoc perlop
tr/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cds
y/SEARCHLIST/REPLACEMENTLIST/cds
Transliterates all occurrences of the characters found in the search
list with the corresponding character in the replacement list. It
returns the number of characters replaced or deleted. If no string
is specified via the =~ or !~ operator, the $_ string is
transliterated. (The string specified with =~ must be a scalar
variable, an array element, a hash element, or an assignment to one
of those, i.e., an lvalue.)
