It is not clear for me what you want to accomplish, but generally use HTML::Entities to process html entities:
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTML::Entities;
my $line="” 3”";
decode_entities ($line);
If this module is of no help, please, try to give a step backwards and explain the kind of conversions you want to be done
Update: A closer look at your code reveals that you are not using alternation correctly: [] in a regexp is a character class, but probably you are wanting () instead (see perlretut and perlre):
$line="” 3 ”";
$line =~ s/(?:&|&\;)rdquo;/'/g;
print "$line\n";
That prints:
' 3 '

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).
