Actually here are the regular expressions that I was looking for.
# html character entity replacements
$s =~ s/\342\200\231/’/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\230/‘/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\246/…/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\223/-/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\224/—/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\234/”/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\235/„/g;
# ascii equivalent replacements
$s =~ s/\342\200[\230\231]/'/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\246/.../g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\223/-/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200\224/--/g;
$s =~ s/\342\200[\234\235]/"/g;
