How can I manually interpolate string escapes in a Perl string?

In perl suppose I have a string like \'hello\\tworld\\n\', and what I want is:

\'hello  world

That is, \"hello\", then a li

Sounds like a problem that someone else would have solved already. I've never used the module, but it looks useful:

use String::Escape qw(unbackslash);
my $s = unbackslash('hello\tworld\n');
