Can you post EXACTLY what's in the input file for us?

I test with the following input file, I called it object.txt:
# cat object.txt
Object1
"Description1"

Object2
"Description2"

Object3
"Description3"

I run this command line:
# perl -l -00pe's/\n/\t/;s/\"//g' object.txt
Object1 Description1
Object2 Description2
Object3 Description3

It's hard to see the tabs, so I tried one with 2 tabs in it for clarity:
# perl -l -00pe's/\n/\t\t/;s/\"//g' object.txt
Object1         Description1
Object2         Description2
Object3         Description3

So, on my (Solaris 9, Perl 5.6.1) box, it's working.  What OS and Perl
version are you using and what's your input file look like?
