HTML decode_entities I used previously purpose for getting length in perl. But today I have problem for that length wrong for text area value receive. I receive the text value from param that length working properly but text area receive from param..It shows wrong length for me.

Please give a suggestion

$release_content=$prl->trim($release_content);

my $release_txt_removing_line=$release_content;
$release_txt_removing_line=~ s/\n//g;

$release_txt_removing_line=decode_entities($release_txt_removing_line)
+;
my $release_content_length=length($release_txt_removing_line);
$release_txt_removing_line=encode_entities($release_txt_removing_line)
+;

print "==$release_content_length==";
