checking for special chars in a string

[Ramprasad A Padmanabhan]

Hello all,
I am sure this must have been asked before But I cant find it

How do I find if
 $str has any special chars ( I mean above 127 in the ascii range  )

I do not want to do an ord of each character

like while($str=~/(.)/g) { return('found') if(ord($1) > 127) }

Thanks
Ram
