hpunixguy2 has a list of files with shell meta characters in them. He would like to process the list so the meta characters are quoted so that the list can be passed to a shell command. How does he do that?

use strict;
use warnings;

while (<DATA>) {
    #fix the file name here
    print;
}

__DATA__
File1^test
File2!test
File3-test
File2\test
[download]

He'd like it to print

File1\^test
File2\!test
File3\-test
File2\\test
[download]
