there is a function called escape() in CGI.pm which you can import. There is
also an unescape function.
use CGI qw(:standard escape);
# ^ Import function
$text = "This is a test $£#{}-+";
print "Original text $text\n";
$escaped = escape($text);
print "Escaped text $escaped\n";

Subject: Perl Equiv of URLEncode()
I'm being so braindead today. This is probably one of the downsides of
coding in multiple
languages.
What is the perl equivalent of PHP's URLEncode(). It encodes spaces to
%20, etc. I was looking
in CGI.pm, but couldn't find anything. I know that there must be something
out there. The HTML::
module? URI::??
I'm still reading through the stuff on CPAN, but was hoping for a kickstart
to the brain.
Thank you in advance,
Lara
