escape charachters

| hi all,
I use use HTML::Entities; and the functions decode() and encode(), but
I'd prefer working with escape characters (è, for example) than
working with exadecimal (or what they are: for example).
Must I use a regexp to substitute each or I can use some other function?
Thank at all,
alladr

The documentation for that module makes no mention of any such
subroutines. Did you mean decode_entities() and encode_entities()?

The documentation says that's precisely what encode_entities does. A
quick test confirms:
C:\>perl -MHTML::Entities -le"print encode_entities('<foo=E7=E9bar>')"
<fooçébar>
C:\>perl -MHTML::Entities -le"print encode_entities('=E8')"
è
Can you post a short-but-complete script that demonstrates the error
you're seeing?

From the manual page, it seems that HTML::Entities handles
HTML entities properly. Could you show some (small) code
demonstrating your problem?
