Hello IanD, and welcome to the Monastery!
Try this:
14:33 >perl -wE "my $s = 'Australia’s ‘Powder Capital’'; $s =~ tr/‘’/'
+/; say $s;"
Australia's 'Powder Capital'
14:33 >
See tr{}{} in Quote and Quote like Operators.
Update: Likewise,
14:42 >perl -wE "my $t = 'and ... xxx said “This is a fantastic start
+to the season”'; $t =~ tr/“”/\"/; say $t;"
and ... xxx said "This is a fantastic start to the season"
14:43 >
Or combined into one:
14:46 >perl -wE "my $s = qq[Australia’s ‘Powder Capital’\nand ... xxx
+said “This is a fantastic start to the season”]; $s =~ tr/‘’“”/''\"\"
+/; say $s;"
Australia's 'Powder Capital'
and ... xxx said "This is a fantastic start to the season"
14:49 >
Hope that helps,
