How to convert the characters below from the special character to the unaccented character - the number next to the special character is the ASCII decimal value of that charatcer:

é 351 to e
è 350 to e
à 340 to a
ç 347 to c
ù 371 to u
ô 364 to o
û 373 to u
â 342 to a
ê 352 to e
ü 374 to u

If any knows pls let me know on suresh_r@gillette.com or suresh1.r@tcs.com

I would just use a regex:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $string = 'é è à ç ù ô û â ê ü';

print $string . "\n";
$string =~ s/\351|\350|\352/e/g;
$string =~ s/\340|\342/a/g;
$string =~ s/\371|\373|\374/u/g;
$string =~ s/\364/0/g;
$string =~ s/\347/c/g;
print $string . "\n";

I'm sure there's some Unicode or UTF-8 module out there that could help though.
