When I send a POST request to a certain url, I get the string like that:
Compruebe si las direcciones URL que encontr\u00e9 en el archivo de configuraci\u00f3n son v\u00e1lidos
How do I decode strings, such as:
\u00e9
\u00f3
\u00e1
I've tried different things:
#It gives weird result:
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('u', $1)/ge;
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('U', $1)/ge;
#Says, nonnumeric argument:
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('u', "0x$1")/ge;
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/pack('U', "0x$1")/ge;
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/chr("0x$1")/ge;
#Just stays as a changed string (\x{00e9}, \x{00f3}, \x{00e1},
#or with \0x{....}), doesn't interpolate:
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/\\x{$1}/g;
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/\\0x{$1}/g;
#does not change anything:
use Text::Unidecode;
$text =~ s/\\u(.{4})/unidecode($1)/ge;
How to convert those encoded strings to utf8 chars?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
