Guys,
I have a little problem that I don't seem to be able to nut 
out. 

I have a file that's being processed by Perl that has a bunch of 
"^@" symbols in it.   This is the "Control-at" character. 
I want to expunge the file of all the "^@" symbols.

I know I can use the ^V function in vi to print these but it just doesn't work 
for this particular character - I can't get vi to print this character in my 
script!

I would use "chr()" if I thought I knew what the literal string for 
a ^@ was but I don't and there's no info on the net I can find either.

Can someone please enlighten me as to what I need to do to to rid myself 
of these ^@ symbols?
