There is a function in the CGI module for it.

    What about URI::Escape? It uses % hex codes, not html entities.

      I suspect that URI::Escape is the right choice. Here's a bit of code to compare them:
      my $url = 'http://www.myothersite.com/myotherwebapp2/foo.asp?param=1&p +aram=3'; use CGI; print "Using CGI Escape:\n"; my $esc_url = CGI::escapeHTML $url; print "$url\nbecomes\n$esc_url\n\n"; use URI::Escape; print "Using URI Escape:\n"; $esc_url = uri_escape($url); print "$url\nbecomes\n$esc_url\n";
      Output is:
      Using CGI Escape: http://www.myothersite.com/myotherwebapp2/foo.asp?param=1&param=3 becomes http://www.myothersite.com/myotherwebapp2/foo.asp?param=1&param=3 Using URI Escape: http://www.myothersite.com/myotherwebapp2/foo.asp?param=1&param=3 becomes http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myothersite.com%2Fmyotherwebapp2%2Ffoo.asp%3Fparam%3D +1%26param%3D3
