in reply to Substitution Question
If you are doing this to insert the data in a database, I'd recommend making the problem go away by learning how to use placeholders. Look in Tutorials for guides on using DBI and placeholders.
Anyway, this regex should do what you want.
$artist =~ s/'/\\'/g;
You may also have to do substitutions for the escape character itself if it might ever appear in any of your strings.
