Convert Entities

udyog has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks,

I have to convert following Entities.

$VAR='｣･ﾜ｢｣碯橾ﾑ｣';
[download]

I am using to convert those entities based on the ascii value.

Please teach me that is it right or is there any short way to convert it?

Thanks You,

Udyog

Hello We can Convert Entities by using "encode_entities" method in HTML::Entities Module. `use HTML::Entities; $VAR='｣･ﾜ｢｣碯橾ﾑ｣'; $VAR=encode_entities($VAR); print $VAR;` [download] _________ `£¥Ü¢£áóúñÑ£`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Besides HTML::Entities, following gives decimal entitites (easy to modify to generate hex version if desired) ... `$entitified = join '' , map { sprintf '&#%d;' , ord $_ } split '' , $raw_string ;` [download] (update: slight style changes.)	[reply] [d/l]
