html entity conversion... one liner?

[KAVANAGH, Michael]

I thought it would be good to be able to do this:

$item = "<blah>";
$item  =~ tr/<>/(&lt;)(&gt;)/;

to convert those <> symbols to their entity references.
however, the tr operator doesn't seem to like using () to group... any
comments on how to make this operation in to a one-liner?

Thanks
Mike
