You are missing a slash character there.
Please post _actual_ code!

You should include the $! variable in your die() message.
You should not have quotes around a lone variable:
perldoc -q vars
What's wrong with always quoting "$vars"?

That replaces _runs_ of whitespace characters (any of: line feed,
carriage return, tab, formfeed, space) with a tab and a plus sign.
The 2nd part of s/// is a *string*, not a regular expression.
To TRansliterate space characters to tab characters:
tr/ /\t/;
