Good day bros. I am trying to use LWP to access Yahoo's content analysis API. The code I am using follows: 
my $text = qq("Researchers from the University of Minnesota's Institut
+e on the Environment looked at 17 key crops that produce 86 percent o
+f the world crop calories.);

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $ua->post(
    'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql',
    ['q' => "select * from contentanalysis.analyze where text='".$text
+."'"]
);
print $response->content();

When I run this I get: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<error xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng" yahoo:lang="
+en-US"><description>Query syntax error(s) [line 1:96 missing EOF at '
+s']</description></error>

So it doesn't like the apostrophe in the query. When I take out the apostrophe, it works like it's supposed to. Since it's a SQL-like query, I tried using double apostrophes, like you would to escape a query string in SQL, and that produced the same error. So I tried URI::Escape on the string. That yields response status of OK, but no contents in the results, i.e. 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<query xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng" yahoo:count=
+"0" yahoo:created="2014-07-19T19:41:26Z" yahoo:lang="en-US"><results/
+></query><!-- total: 177 -->
<!-- engine4.yql.ne1.yahoo.com -->

Anyone know how I can get this working?
