Replacement of HTML Entites

Tommy1981 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello everybody,

does anybody know a Perl module that replaces a HTML Entity by its representation as you can see it in a web browser?

I already extracted the text within the <body> tags of an HTML formatted website using HTML::TagParser, and what I get are things like

"interdisziplinär", "größeren"

instead of

"interdisziplinär", "größeren".

Thank you very much for your help in advance,

Thomas

Googling for HTML Entity finds HTML::Entites. What was bad about it that you didn't use it?	[reply]

Hi Corion, Thank you very much for your answer. I didn't know that HTML::Entities is contained in HTML::Parser, and I couldn't find "HTML-Entities" via the Active Perl's "Perl Package Manager". Now it works fine. Thomas	[reply]
