I did something similar for converting UTF-8 into HTML entities. I decided to do it the "proper perl 5.8" way: make it into a plugin for the wonderful Encode module. What i did was: - Write a simple script which reads the HTML entity definitions and writes a .ucm file. See "perlodc enc2xs" for the format. - Use enc2xs to turn it into a module. - Just use Encode in any way you want to do the encoding. My use case was also the reason that the fallback mechanisms to € and   notation got added to Encode. The whole thing is small enough that I'll just attach it. It contains the HTML entity files and my script to parse them (ent2ucm). I did do some manual editing of the result. -- Bart.
