One more thing (and i think this is more likely to be the cause), \a and \t inside double quotes have their special meanings (see the perlop manpage for the list).

If you work on a Windows-based system, you should be able to replace the \ with / in Perl. You should be able to use, say

$::file = "C:/adder/testfile.txt"

instead. Then this should be okay.

EDIT:

Or you can doubly escape the \, i.e.

$::file = "C:\\adder\\testfile.txt"
