If the above is what you want, then use
tr:
$somestring =~ tr/0-9a-zA-Z//cd;

You can add it to the above 'keep' list (how about tabs?):
$somestring =~ tr/0-9a-zA-Z\x20\x09//cd;
Or you can figure out exactly what you DON'T want
and use something like (to get rid of newlines and
carriage returns):
$somestring =~ tr/\x0a\x0d//d;
