Re^2: Escaping double quotes in complete document

Hi thanos,

thank you for your reply. Unfortunately it is not exactly what I was looking for. As I wrote, I came across HTML::Entities myself, but there's just too many scripts with waaay too many variables and arrays and whatnot to go along and decode/encode every single one by hand.

I am looking for a method to tell Perl "Go ahead and just encode everything you get so that HTML entities are correctly loaded." Kind of like

use open qw(:std :utf8);
[download]

is doing for UTF-8 encoding.

Best regards

MeinName

Hello again MeinName, Apologies I did not notice that. The only alternative way that I found is to force your whole script to use UTF-8 by default. For example: `$ PERL_UNICODE=S perl script.pl` [download] You can read further on perlrun/Command Switches. Give it a try. Hope this helps.

Hi thanos, I tried `#!/usr/bin/perl -wCSD` [download] to run my scripts, but unfortunately that only solves the UTF-8 character problems and not my problem with the HTML entities. Thank you for your help, though :)	[reply] [d/l]
