...not escaped by default...

...not on the list...

Hmmm - so why is that when I do: 

foreach $val (keys %char2entity) {
    print "<br>$val => $char2entity{$val}\n";
}

This outputs:

...
<br>@ => &#64;
...
<br>. => &#46;

Is %char2entity not the list of characters that are encoded by default?


Update:

Answer to my own question - no, I don't think %char2entity is the list of characters to encode by default.

If I take Anonymous Monk's suggestion: 

encode($string, \000-\377)

[download]
then every single character in my string gets encoded - without supplying any further information about what are the codes for these characters. In other words, it looks like %char2eneitty is just the list of all char-to-entity relations for reference, NOT the list of chars that shoud be encoded by default.
