Yep, and here's the benchmarks to prove it. (I just felt like learning the benchmark module.)
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw(:all);
#banging on the keyboard
my $target_string = 'al;nsdfj;oasmfdio;asdfoasdjfm;mioasfdsjdo;fijso;a
+dfjmio;sadjfmos;adfmjosia;mdfjiosad';
Benchmark::cmpthese (
1000000,
{
'substituteStar' => sub { $_ = $target_string;
s/[abc]*//g; } ,
'substituteNoStar' => sub { $_ = $target_string;
s/[abc]//g; } ,
'substitutePlus' => sub { $_ = $target_string;
s/[abc]+//g; } ,
'trAbc' => sub { $_ = $target_string;
tr/abc//d; }
}
)
Outputs:

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
