Removing or replacing space character

[tango55]

This is my first delve into Perl or any kind of programming. I have just started using slimbox to show photos on my site. Basically any photo with a % in the name like this "maran%2525252520parc%2525252520web.jpg"
doesn't work. i am assuming this is a space character from when my user uploaded a photo with a space in the name.

Code on my html page for showing this is: <%if Image2%><A HREF="<%Image2_largest_path%>" rel="lightbox"><IMG SRC="<%Image2_medium_path%>" BORDER="0"></A><%endif%>

I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how to deal with this (replacing it? removing it?) or even just a nudge in the right direction. I have spent a week looking on help pages but it is just a bit beyond me.

use URI::Escape;
my $uri = "hello%20world%25";
$uri = uri_unescape ($uri);
print $uri, "\n";

By the way, a % isn't always a space, % is only a space if its followed by a 20. In URL encoding, % is used to escape every special character (besides some simple ones like -, &, =, and .)
