in reply to uri_unescape not correct

The URI you present is UTF-8 encoded. Quick fix -
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use URI::Escape; use Encode qw(from_to); my $terms = "%22Celades%22+%22Aspectos+cl%C3%ADnicos+*+*+menopausia%22 +"; # uri_unescape($terms); # should return: # "Celades"+"Aspectos+clínicos+*+*+menopausia" # actually returns: # "Celades"+"Aspectos+clínicos+*+*+menopausia" $_ = uri_unescape ($terms); from_to ($_,"utf-8","iso-8859-1"); print $_,"\n";

That should do. It seems there's no uri_unescape_utf8 in URI::Escape.
