I think this is where one is supposed to use a '%HH' expression to safely invoke/evoke the "special" character (double quote in this case) without screwing up everything else:
... saloon.18%22 alloy...
The same might apply to the apostrophe that occurs later in the same string (replace it with "%27"), and since you'll be doing stuff in perl with this string, you'd better treat the dollar sign as well ("%24").

By any chance, has something already been done to this text, in terms of "decoding" uri escapes, before you get to the point in your script that throws the error? If so, maybe just postpone doing that sort of step until later in the script.

Update (oops): As tye points out in the following reply, I'm wrong -- it's not a URI-escape thing, it's an HTML Entity thing. So, my question should have been phrased "has something been done to decode HTML entity references (like ")?" If so, don't do that, or do it later.
