Either
$t = "target\\[";
if($line =~ /$t/){
or
$t = "target[";
if($line =~ /\Q$t\E/){
if the $t is not supposed to contain a regexp, but just some text to
search for I'd recoment the second syntax.

There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
It's just that in the mess on my table ... and in my brain
I can't find it.
