in thread how to calculate the length for other language content in PERL?

Yes, I know that. I meant your string with all the ampersands -- those are HTML Entities. They represent those characters, but in order to get the actual characters, you need to decode that first.
This is where HTML::Entities comes in. Feed your string through decode_entities, and then do your thing with encode_guess, if needed still. The length of the output of decode_entities($title) is the string you should find the length of.
