In perl the recommended version is
text.replace(/([^a-zA-Z0-9])/g, "\\$1")
For the record, most languages with modern regular expressions include a
built in method for this.
For instance:
* Perl: quotemeta(str)
* PHP: preg_quote(str)
* Python: re.escape(str)
* Ruby: Regexp.escape(str)
* Java: Pattern.quote(str)
* C#, VB.NET: Regex.Escape(str)
