That's because the backslash character is also the escape character. If
you want to print the string
$string (where $string is NOT a variable)
you write
print "\$string"; # prints $string
In your code below, you've escaped the closing quote, and therefore you
don't tell Perl where the string ends. To avoid this, you have to escape
the backslash:
print "\\"; # prints \
