Yes.

You need to escape the @ in a double quoted string, or use single quotes -
"user:p\@ss" or 'user:p_at_ss'

Perl would have told you this if you enable warnings: use '-w' on the script

line:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

From the perl faq:

Always use -w. Try to "use strict;" (or "use strict qw(...);").
Remember that you can add "no strict qw(...);" to individual blocks
of code which need less strictness. Always use -w. Always use -w!

Cheers,
Cris
