De-Webifying a string...
I've gone brain dead!... I have a string full of web friendly charactors like...

Code:
'
:
&#59;
&

...the normal stuff, there must be a quick parse string to chop things human friendly....

There is a fairly easy way as long as the numeric form is used. This won't work for things like ½ - it would need to be ½

Code:
$string =~ s/&#(\d+);/chr($1)/eg;
