A newbie question!
If the user type in: http://www.domain.com/~page/subpage.htm.....
How do you encode the string into URL-encoding format? (with hex values)

Thanks a lot

HTML::Entities::encode_entities($url);

Yeah, I found quite a lot of ways doing that!
Thanks anyway.
Some are:
CGI::EnURL
URI::Escape
& write your own subs
oh, and what Chris told me

Actually, what I told you was wrong. :-) HTML::Entities is used to encode things like < to < My mistake, sorry. You do want to be using URI::Escape::uri_escape or the equivalent (better to use that than to roll your own in the ever-changing world of web standards).
