try to escape the backslash:

works for me.
The meaning of the switches is (from `man perlrun`)
-p causes Perl to assume the following loop around your program, which makes it iterate over filename arguments somewhat like sed:
LINE: while (<>) { ... # your program goes here } continue { print or die "-p destination: $!\n"; }
If a file named by an argument cannot be opened for some reason, Perl warns you about it, and moves on to the next file. Note that the lines are printed automatically. An error occurring during printing is treated as fatal. To suppress printing use the -n switch. A -p overrides a -n switch.
"BEGIN" and "END" blocks may be used to capture control before or after the implicit loop, just as in awk.
-e commandline may be used to enter one line of program. If -e is given, Perl will not look for a filename in the argument list. Multiple -e commands may be given to build up a multi-line script. Make sure to use semicolons where you would in a normal program.
