I would like to make my dbman implementation a tab delimted data base. I set:

# Database delimeter.
$db_delim = '\t';

(which I thought would make the file tab delimited)

This just puts the \t in there, not a tab, which means the last field gets a \ added to it in all the records.

I am sorry if this is a silly problem, but I don't know what to do about it.
