Hi,

I'm trying to work out how to convert this value:

my $test = "%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81 %D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B0 %D0%B2 %D0%95%D1%80%D0%B5";

..into its proper UTF8 value:

"Вопрос строительства в Ере"

This is a 3rd party script (and I'm just doing this as a favor, as its a charity) ... I've got all the other stuff they wanted done, but can't seem to work out this encoding issue. The way they save the data is a bit crappy:

29|5|lastrepoly|09/13/2011|01:48:39|Name|%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81 %D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B0 %D0%B2 %D0%95%D1%80%D0%B5|UTF-8 test...%0A%0A%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%BF%D1||2||0

TIA - this is driving me up the wall!

Andy
