Do you know specifically which character you want? Any character may
be represented by a backslash escape in a literal string. If you can
find your character on an ASCII table, you can use its hex or octal
code. Here's one ASCII table:
http://www.engplanet.com/content/asciitable.html
The control character named SOH has the hex code of 01, so that would
become "\x01" in a double-quoted string. You'd write it the same way
in a split pattern:
my @pieces = split /\x01/, $data;
There are other ways to do it. All of the backslash escapes are
documented under "Quote and Quote-like Operators" in the perlop
manpage:
http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators
Is that all you needed? Cheers!
