That seems like a bit of a strange request to me, could you explain some more what you need this for?

Anyway, this works for me:

use HTML::Entities;

my $str = "'Hello\" & <World>";
encode_entities($str, q{&"'});
print $str, "\n";      # prints &#39;Hello&quot; &amp; <World>

But what do you mean by "all HTML entities"? Do you include e.g. non-ASCII characters in that definition? (And what encoding are you using for your HTML files?) Could you show some representative example input and the expected output for that?
