Hi,

I have a html doc which converts a string using URIComponent. The href to my perl program is constructed as follows -
$href = "http://mywebsite.com?myperl.cgi?param1="+URIComponent(string)
+;

[download]
Now, lets say my string is equal to "\u1E02oo", that is a capital B with a dot above followed by two o's, then I should get the following url -

http://mywebsite.com?myperl.cgi?param1=%E1%B8%82

Now I can call param("param1") to obtain my escaped sequence, but then what?

I have a local variable called $compare which I'd like to make a match with. Can anyone suggest how I go about this?

Thanks.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
$| = 1;

use CGI qw/:standard :no_xhtml/;
use CGI::Carp "fatalsToBrowser";
use HTML::Template;
use List::Util qw[ shuffle ];
use URI::Escape;
use DBI;
use Encode;

my $h = new CGI;
my $charset = "utf-8";

#print header(-charset=>$charset),
print header(),
start_html(-title=>"Unicode");

my $compare = "\x{1E02}oo";

my $param1 = param("param1");
//Encode::_utf8_on($param1);

if ($compare eq $param1)
{
   print "match";
}
print end_html();
