hi all,

i have a thorny problem. i want to escape certain characters (e.g. a
">" becomes a ">") in a large amount of text. i want to avoid using a
regex if possible because there are a lot of possible characters.

option one is to use URI::Escape::uri_escape(), but this function escapes
EVERYTHING in sight to the NUMERIC html entity, not the symbolic one.

what's to do?

alternatively, can anyone give me the list of "disallowed" characters in
WML? i need the escape-ing bit because if i have some text that contains a
">" or similar char, the WML browser complains about "ill-formed
document."
