As others have already shown, it is best to separate the functions of decode and translation. The following code demonstrates a few minor improvements. The use of character names allows you to type your script in pure ascii. It makes your intention clear without concern about how very similar looking graphics are displayed (Probably the same reasons that you used informal character names in your post). I prefer the use of the tr/// operator rather than s///g for fixed substitutions such as this.
use strict; use warnings; use Encode 'decode'; use Test::More tests=>1; my $in_file = qq(This isn\xe2\x80\x99t hard); my $text = decode('utf-8', $in_file); $text =~ tr/\N{RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK}/\N{APOSTROPHE}/; is( $text, q(This isn't hard), 'quote mark test' );

OUTPUT:

1..1 ok 1 - quote mark test

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
