That would replace a backslash followed by the 'n' character with "HI". >From the original message: $_="Hi. \n This is test string"; So there is no backslash followed by an 'n' in $_ (actually, there isn't even a backslash, as \n is interpreted as a newline). Now if we had something like $_='Hi. \n This is test string'; Then we would have a backslash followed by an 'n', but no newline.
