in reply to RFC: XML::Entities

OK, I did some of the suggested things. I perlized the download-and-parse script and made it gather the data from the .ent files. I encapsulated the thing into a module that provides a decode function using HTML::Entities inside. The semicolons are now added as jdporter suggested and the results are cached.

Here is the new version. What do you think?

    In the Pod I notice
    Under perl 5.6 and earlier only characters in the Latin-1 range are replaced.
    which should be probably replaced by perl 5.005, because perl 5.6 can deal with Unicode characters, at least with the chr(0x0100) syntax.

    But later in the code there's require 5.007; so the above sentence could be left completely out.

    I hope you're building a proper CPAN distribution before uploading it? And add some tests?

      As I said, this is gonna be my first CPAN submission, so I may need some guidance. I'll ask once more when I think it's ready for submission. Thank you all.
