As a variation on Polyglot's solution, you can define the tags in a hash. The advantage is that it is more easily expanded if more tags are needed. I have chosen to specify the characters by name ( charnames) because I find single punctuation marks, embedded in quotes, hard to read.
use strict;
use warnings;
my %tags = (
91 => "\N{FULL STOP}", # '.'
92 => "\N{APOSTROPHE}", # '''
93 => "\N{COMMA}", # ','
94 => "\N{EXCLAMATION MARK}", # '!'
);
my $line =
'Text with unusual punctuation<91><91><91>'
.'I<92>m not going to lie<93> this is odd text<94>'
;
$line =~ s/<(\d\d)>/$tags{$1}/ge;
print $line, "\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
