So, um, you do know that \t is a tab in double-quoted text?
Try:
open(my $file, d:/path/to/your/test.txt) or die(Can't open: $!)
or:
open(my $file,
Try this...
open(FILE, d:\\path_to\\textfiles\\test.txt) or die Can't open $!;
Or,
open(FILE, 'd:\path_to\textfiles\test.txt') or die Can't open $!;

This is going to drive me nuts I have my test snippet below
When I run this as shown below, I get the error: Invalid argument.
open(FILE, d:\path_to\textfiles\test.txt) or die Can't open $!;
You need to replace each \ with \\ as a single \ will be interpreted as
an escape character.
