: Is there a way to re-convert characters like ' # ', @, $,%,^,& etc from

First, please post in plain text to the mailing list. Thanks.
The strings you're getting are URL-encoded. You need to URL-decode them.
Try
looking through the CGI.pm module for the function you need (you don't need
to 'use CGI', but you can clip that function).
It should look something like:
s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack( .. blah blah .. )/eg;
I forget exactly what goes in the "pack" part, but it's something like
pack(C, $1)
but I can't say for sure.
