Despite appearances, the string from the first statement doesn't
contain a backslash. (Maybe you wanted to use qr// instead of double
quotes? Or you could write the string with three backslashes: The
first two make a real backslash, while the third escapes the dollar
sign within the double quotes.)
Hope this helps!
