regex to strip non-alpha numeric characters

$address = "123 Something Blvd.";

What regular expression can strip non-alpha numeric characters from $address so it would be:

$address = "123SomethingBlvd"

??

THANKS!

Code:

$line = "This is a 123 test, with some funny characters like * & !. End of line.";
$line =~ s/[^\w]//g;
