Building on AnomalousMonk's "Prior to Perl version 5.14" example we can come up with this SSCCE:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More tests => 3;
my $data = {x => "Maria's"};
my $old = \%$data;
my @allparms = sort keys %$data;
my @oldparms = @allparms;
my @expected = ("Maria''s");
my @result = map { (my $f = $data->{$_} || '') =~ s/'/''/g; $f } @allp
+arms;
is_deeply \@result, \@expected, "apostrophe's are doubled";
is_deeply $data, $old, '$data is unchanged';
is_deeply \@allparms, \@oldparms, '@allparms is unchanged';
You can then extend $data and @expected to provide a more comprehensive set of test data to prove that the algorithm matches your needs.
All of this assumes (contrary to expectation) that choroba's guess that this is actually an XY Problem is incorrect.

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).

are good places to start.
