Re^3: HTML::Entities not working

[muba]

I see no entities that would need decoding. What exact output did you expect? What exact output did you get?

Without knowing what you want, it is hard to know how to get there.

Thank u ..I Got the output...

use HTML::Entities;
use Encode;

my $first_name_assign="$firstname";

$first_name_assign=decode('UTF-8',$first_name_assign);

$first_name_assign=decode_entities($first_name_assign);

my $first_name_length=length($first_name_assign);

print "$first_name_length";
