I sent some perl code to M-| that, unfortunately, seems to be in an
infinite loop. Emacs isn't responding. How can I get it to break the
loop?
Thanks in advance

Control-g is almost always the way to abort or interrupt things in Emacs.
When you're running a shell command, the first time you press it it will
say "Waiting for process to die...(type C-g again to kill it instantly)".
Press it again and you should be back.
