A question about encode/decode in perl

[lcs01]

A user input from a web form is encoded by javascript encodeURI and it's then passed into a perl code. How to decode it in perl?

Thank you for your help.

If you use the CGI module to get the user data there should be nothing you have to do.

use CGI qw/:standard/;
my $foo = param('foo');

Thank you, Kevin.

I am using CGI.pm. The problem I have is like this:

A user input is 'faßt' and after it is encoded by javascript encodeURI(), it becomes like this: 'fa%C3%9Ft'. When 'fa%C3%9Ft' is passed into a perl code, how can I convert it back to 'faßt'?

Thanks.
