It looks as if you're talking about "control characters". In Perl's double-quoted strings, and similar places, you may use "\cX" to denote "control-X". So you could write code like this, perhaps, if you wished to replace every control-M with three #-signs. s/\cM/###/g; There are other odd characters than control characters. You can see how to specify them in Perl in the perlop manpage.
