Hexadecimal chars in regexp

I'm having a little trouble with regular expressions:

Code:

$string = "blablablablablablaB6"; (B6 = hex char B6)
if($string =~ m/\xB6/) {
  do this;
  do that;

  $string =~ s/\xB6//g;
}

the B6 char should be removed from the string, but it doesn't work!?!

Why doesn't $string =~ s/\xB6//g; work?
