perlop:

     For constructs that do interpolation, variables beginning with "$" or
     "@" are interpolated, as are the following sequences:

         \t          tab             (HT, TAB)
         \n          newline         (LF, NL)
         \r          return          (CR)
         \f          form feed       (FF)
         \b          backspace       (BS)
         \a          alarm (bell)    (BEL)
         \e          escape          (ESC)
         \033        octal char
         \x1b        hex char
         \c[         control char
         \l          lowercase next char
         \u          uppercase next char
         \L          lowercase till \E
         \U          uppercase till \E
         \E          end case modification
         \Q          quote regexp metacharacters till \E
