Trying to set the iCloud directory in Perl, but failing

[wagsworld48 via beginners]

I have:
my $MyiCloudLoc = q[~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs];

Then:
chdir($MyiCloudLoc) or die "$!";

Error is “no such file or directory”

Yet if I do the following in terminal:

Cd  ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs

It changes to that directory.

Seems simple, but not understanding what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for any info… ;)

I remember I once connected to iCloud from perl via their webdav interface.

The leading tilde ("~") is the problem. It's specific to the shell. Perl
doesn't recognize it. Perl treats that first tilde as a directory. The
error is telling you that a directory named "~" doesn't exist.
