? with using s///

[loosecannon1]

Hi all -

I have a situation where I need to switch all copyright symbols(©) with its HTML entity number(#169.

Following is what I have, but the Regex machine won't process it.

$topic =~ s/©/#169;/g;

Any ideas?

P.S. I left the & off the entity number so the forum wouldn't transform it to the symbol.

Thanks

Everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth.

Mike,

I'm working with a XML/Perl based content managment tool for web sites. It's supposed to allow developers to add Perl logic between <perl> tags. For some reason it blew up with the regex. I had to add the regex in a module and call it from the XML template.
