$sql .= "'\Q$text\E'"
This is also known as the quotemeta function.
You might want to investigate the use of the statement handle method "quote".
quote
$sql = $dbh->quote($value);
$sql = $dbh->quote($value, $data_type);
Quote a string literal for use as a literal value in an SQL statement, by
escaping
any special characters (such as quotation marks) contained within the string
and
adding the required type of outer quotation marks.
$sql = sprintf "SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE baz = %s", $dbh->quote("Don't");
Taken straight from the perldocs for "DBI".
