Remove Special Character ^@ from Text.

[bernardino lopez]

I'm trying to use some files but seems like there is
some special spaces or characters, I wonder if
somebody know how to escape the special character "^@"
which looks like some kind of special space but is
hard to do the escape with a RegExp.
With VI:
$_ = ",some_text^@^@^@,more_text,";
I try:

$_=~s/[^+]//g;
$_=~s/[^@]//g;
$_=~s/\^@//g;

None of those work. any help will be appreciated

Thanks A lot in advance.

Dino.
