The backslash is Perl's general magic character. It always means that
the next character is something special. Anywhere in Perl, if you
don't want backslash magic, if you intend a real backslash character,
use two of them. A single backslash is always magical. (In fact,
you've backslashed the closing quote mark!) If you need two real
backslashes, as in some Windows pathnames, use four of them in your
source.
Is that what you needed? Good luck with it!
