No, you're using Perl's built-in copy() function, so the back-slash isn't needed. It's only needed if you're calling an external tool such as cp or CpMac, for example, and passing the file name.
Note that, as it stands, the backslash in the source code isn't actually making it into the string. The string is double-quoted, so \; is interpreted as an escape sequence. Since \; isn't a valid escape sequence, the backslash is ignored and the result is just a semicolon. To insert a literal backslash into a double-quoted string, you need to double it - \\.
