I'm having a problem with LWP::UserAgent; not correctly interpreting certain characters from an external HTML file. This is the code I am using 
  use LWP::UserAgent;
  $ua  = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  $url = "https://<SITE>/<FILE>.html";
  $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $);
  $ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0');  
  $res = $ua->request($req); 
  if ($res->is_success) 
     {
        $result = $res->content;
     } else 
     {          
        print $htmlres->status_line;
        print $htmlres->decoded_content;
     }
