Wow, why the switch to insane variable names? You're not even separating the words! Your code is unreadable. (Wall of text.)
-
Anyway, you always discard the result of decode_entities, so I don't see how you could claim it ever works.
-
And the order of the following statements is backwards:
$decodedParsedContent =~ s/(\s)+/ /g; # remove double whitespace
decode_entities(my $decodedParsedContentWithDecodeEntities = $decodedP
+arsedContent);
You're removing the spaces before you decode the entities that might result in spaces.
-
Finally, s/(\s)+/ /g is wrong. Except ? in some very special circumstances, applying a modifier to a capture makes no sense. Which brings to the point that you don't need to be capturing at all. If you need parens, they're (?...): s/(?:\s)+/ /g. Of course, there's one one atom in the parens, so all you need is s/\s+/ /g.
Update: "If called in void context the arguments are decoded in-place.", oops.
Your test produces waaaaay too much output, so I can't even see the problem, much less diagnose it.

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).
