Text::Unidecode

Is that in the standard library? I don't have the ability to install modules on this system. (Maybe Corion can do it.)

And would this be all I need? i.e. will it cover the four that I've already done?

Thanks!

    Definitely a cpan module. 
    perl -E 'use Text::Unidecode; say unidecode("\x{2016} \x{2019} \x{201C
+} \x{201D}")'
|| ' " "

      No, that was a typo; I meant 2013.
