How are you viewing the file? Most likely the <92> notation is a
result of the viewer, not what is actually in the file. My bet is
that <92> a hex representation of a character in your character set.
If that is true, you should be able to replace them like this:
s/\x{92}/'/
s/[\x{93}\x{94}]/"/;
What you really need to do is find out what character set you are
using and make sure your file handle is opened with it.
