this should be:  
    $string =~ s/\+/ /g;
except that  $sting  in the line above was, i presume, a typo
(should have been $string), what would have been printed below
would have been "string before =>G+Chdgf<==  String after =>1<=="
since there was one substitution actually made.

however, i thought that what amit wanted to do was to be able to match
using the original string, including the ``+'' and other such (meta)character(s)
that might be present, not just to eliminate them.
