Not sure if you have tried URI::Escape.. `use URI::Escape; $str = uri_unescape("%c2 %a2"); print "$str";` [download] works!!!	[reply] [d/l]

MySQL itself may be causing your problem - what kind of field are you storing it in? BLOB will screw up big style (binary data does not allow encode/decode), TEXT should be a safe bet (provided your MySQL table is set to UTF-8)	[reply]

I simply want to parse $ENV{QUERY_STRING} and convert any % encodings into the correct Ł, € or whatever (in unicode). I would rather not rely on external libraries where possible but right not I'll take anything that works. The closest I've got is the \x encodings which is not enough. Whoops I meant STDIN, but it's encoded the same anyways ( /^application\/x-www-form-urlencoded/)	[reply]
