URL Percent Encoding (URI Escaping) in Perl

Question

Can anyone tell me where I can find encoding functions like

encode("[email protected]") ==> ram%40yahoo.com

and decode("ram%40yahoo.com") ==> [email protected]

Thanks

Answer 1

Use the URI::Escape module from the URI distribution, which is used by pretty much everything.

Answer 2

You can use the uri_encode and uri_decode functions in the URI::Encode package.
