stormbow has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a text string like the following one: %E4%BA%8E%E6%96%AF%E5%B1%88%E8%BE%BE%E5%B0%94

I know this is probably a utf-8 encoded Chinese phrase, or more precisely, a Chinese name for a Turkey place:) Now, how can I get the actual Chinese character string out of this percent-encoded gibberish?

Tried URI::Escape::uri_unescape() but it didn't produce the right result. Tried Encode::decode() but that doesn't work either.

Can anyone help?
