No no, he can't use that - that solution is much too elegant! It will
also quite probably run faster than my suggested solution!

Very nice solution! Here's a variation, using the "s///" operator:
$string =~ s/[\x80-\xFF]//g;
Well, s/he did say s/he wanted a regex so I originally thought
s/[^[:ascii:]]+//g but then s/he asked for "a efficient way" so I had to go
with transliteration. :-)
