This list is for mod_perl questions.  For beginner Perl questions, you 
should try one of the mailing lists at http://lists.perl.org/ or post 
your question on http://perlmonks.org/.

Works for me in perl 5.6.1

[mithun@zorro mithun]$ perl -wT -e 'my $test = "you \&
me"; print "voila\n" if $test =~ /\&/;'
voila

This is unrelated to mod_perl. Please ask your question somewhere related 
directly to Perl, such as the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup, perlmonks.org 
or another Perl-related list at http://lists.perl.org/ which might be 
related to your question.
