More legible code is usually far more valuable than shorter code.

This is the approach I had in mind:
$ cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Encode;
$octets = ;
$chars = decode 'utf8', $octets;
%special = ( "\xc3\x96" => 'O', "\xc3\xa5" => 'a' );
($translated = $octets) =~ s/(\xc3\x96|\xc3\xa5)/$special{$1}/g;

This tells me that you are taking input from an octet buffer that comes
from outside.

Hi,
I want to replace some special characters with their corresponding Western
European chars, for example a with a, â with a, s with s, t with t, î with i
and so on.
Could you please recommend a module that can do this?
