quick perl question

[NeoMadHatter]

i need to check lines of input to see if any of them match the input of:
};
but it won't let me check for it as the } is part of the Perl closing statements. i've been trying:
m/};/ ;

but that doesn't work and neither does: m/\};/;

any ideas?

/\}\;/

or you can also use the quote string to disregard the special characters
m/\Q};\E/;
