Here is example code for this:

	sub esc_path {
		my $str = shift;

		sub quot {
			my $seq = shift;
			my %es = (
				"\t" => '\t', # tab            (HT, TAB)
				"\n" => '\n', # newline        (NL)
				"\r" => '\r', # return         (CR)
				"\f" => '\f', # form feed      (FF)
				"\b" => '\b', # backspace      (BS)
				"\a" => '\a', # alarm (bell)   (BEL)
				"\e" => '\e', # escape        (ESC)
				"\013" => '\v', # vertical tab (VT)
			);

			if (exists $es{seq}) {
				return $es{$seq};
			}
			return sprintf("\\%03o", ord($seq));
		}
		
		$str = esc_html($str);
		$str =~ s/([[:cntrl:]])/'<span class="cntrl">' . quot($1) . '</span>'/eg;
		return $str;
	}
