How can I match the "&" symbol?

The code in your message works fine. (Yes, I actually ran it....) Why don't you post the *exact* code that isn't working instead? The ampersand is not special in regular expressions, so the backslash suggested in other replies is pointless.
I second this. I use the following in my code: $tempName =~ s/&/and/g; # replace all '&' with 'and'
and it is working fine.
