You forgot to Cc: list, so here it is:

> Could you give me an example ?

---- start script ----

#!/usr/bin/perl

print ("Hit any key: ");

$userVar = <>;

if ($userVar eq "\n") {
        print "You hit the enter key!\n";
} else {
        print "You did not only hit the enter key!\n";
}

---- end script ----

Technically, no ascii required, just had to check for a return.
