Julian,

I have found this Perl module: URI::Escape which has functions to 
encode/decode %nn characters.  At the end of the readme it also says:
The module can also export the |%escapes| hash, which contains the 
mapping from all 256 bytes to the corresponding escape codes. Lookup in 
this hash is faster than evaluating |sprintf("%%%02X", ord($byte))| each 
time.

Now, I'll try to find some other module that can convert the 
international character into &eacute;...

Denis
