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

Hi,

Can anyone help me? I need a quick regex, to strip out funny foreign characters from a set of strings and replace them with english eqivalents, for example french characters and accents over words. Is there a regex I can add to my script or a function I can use?

Cheers,

Tom
