How to remove ^M characters from a string?

Novician has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a web form with a multi-line text box. When I look at the data entered into this field, I see it contains these ^M (Ctrl-M) characters at the end of each line. How can I get rid of these?
