PHP has builtin functions for urlencode and urldecode functions but for perl I’ve found the following from HERE that does the same thing:

sub URLDecode {
my $theURL = $_[0];
$theURL =~ tr/+/ /;
$theURL =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9]{2,2})/chr(hex($1))/eg;
$theURL =~ s/<!–(.|\n)*–>//g;
return $theURL;
}
sub URLEncode {
my $theURL = $_[0];
$theURL =~ s/([\W])/”%” . uc(sprintf(”%2.2x”,ord($1)))/eg;
return $theURL;
}
