Re^5: HTML::Entities and Unicode quotes

[Your Mother]

Excepting the demonstration of what perl believed the strings to be, my answer’s code content was essentially identical to yours.

The Re^15-deep feuds about this sort of thing in the past are suddenly less mysterious.

• It doesn't do what you purport it does.
• It shouldn't be used at all.
• Especially not when introducing someone to encodings.
