You still don't seem to be looking these questions up for yourself
before turning to this list.

Please, please learn to use Google, or a Perl tutorial book.

According to --

<http://life.csu.edu.au/~lbenton/ascii-chart.html>
<http://www.i-logic.com/serial/ascii.htm>

-- control-G is the BEL character in ASCII, hex code 7.

So, a Google search for 'perl "bell character"' --

<http://www.google.com/search?q=perl...ll+character%22>

-- turns up several promising links, the third of which is --

<http://www.objectsdevelopment.com/p...rs.
html>

-- and when I search that page for "bel" (the second "l" might or might
not show up in the term, so I'm leaving it out to be safe), I find:

Strings can be of any length and can contain any characters,
numbers, punctuation, special characters (like `!', `#', and `%'),
and even characters in natural languages besides English In
addition, a string can contain special ASCII formatting characters
like newline, tab, and the "bell" character.

-- and, a bit further down the page, a table with common escape
sequences for inserting special characters like BEL into interpolated
strings in Perl. Not only that, there's then a sample program that uses
several of these characters, including the one you're asking about.

If you go to that page, you will see what the escape sequence is and how
the author of that page is using it in the example.


Finding that took about 2 minutes.

Writing about it for you took about 5.

Next time around, please at least try to find answers for yourself.

I assume that what you want to do is ring the bell.  In which case,
if you type

perldoc perlop

and look for "Quote and Quote-like Operators", you'll see:

\a          alarm (bell)    (BEL)
