Need Help??

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

I am parsing email+subject links from a webpage.
I wanted to know if there is a function which removes the special characters from the subject. As in this example:

jack@abc.com?subject=3%2B%20Year%20CNN%20BBBC%20AAA%20for%20Huge%20Tam
+pa%20SHOE%20Table.%20Co.!!
[download]

I want to convert the special characters "%20" etc.. in this string into regular text.

use unescape I'm not sure about what you mean here really, but I think that it might be worth mentioning that `uri_unescape` from `URI::Escape` is useful when you do want to unescape URLs etc. -- mowgli	[reply]
