matching a [ in a regex

When I try to do a pattern match on a variable that contains a '[', I get
the following error:

Unmatched [ before HERE mark in regex m/target[ << HERE / at
C:\PerlScripts\test.pl line 5.

Here is my code so far:

$line = "my target[ target ]";

$t = "target[";
if($line =~ /$t/){
	print "yes";
}

I've tried escaping the bracket, etc, etc, to no avail.  Any suggestions?
