Looks okay to me. I thought your test string might be a bit too easy (didn't cover enough possible trouble makers), and I wondered whether putting "decode_entities" before the cp1252 lookup might cause a problem (because when you decode entities like "Ñ" ("Ñ"), you get utf8 byte sequences that include bytes like 0x91, which might get mistreated by the cp1252_lookup).

But then I tried it out, adding "Ñ" and "Ò" to the test string, and they magically came out right:

... my $str = join('', chr(0x93), 'double', chr(0x94), ' Ñ Ò ', chr(0x201C), 'double', chr(0x201D), '‘single’' ); ... output: “double” Ñ Ò “double”‘sing +le’
which looks like what you would want to get.

Update: based on your reply, I figured it might make sense to try numeric character entities above 0xff -- e.g. Ǒ and ǒ (when converted to utf8, these have 0x91 and 0x92 as the second byte). It still works the way you would want, converting them correctly to hex-coded numeric entities (Ǒ and ǒ, upper and lower case letter o with caron, respectively).

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.
