HTML::E...erpolate(3)

💖 NAME 💖

HTML::Entities::Interpolate — call HTML::Entities::encode_entities, via a hash, within a string

okay so bestie, this is HTML::E...erpolate(3) and it's literally the cutest little shortcut. you've got a hash, you drop it inside a string, and boom — your entities are encoded. no cap. 🦋

my($block_2) = "<p align='center'>Para Two</p>";

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td align='center'><br>The full text of the block is <pre>$Entitize{$block_2}</pre></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td align='center'><br>Check out the web page at: <a href='$block_3'>$block_4</a></td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

like, look at $Entitize{$block_1} just vibing inside that value='...' — that's the whole trick. you interpolate straight into the string and it comes out entity-encoded. chef's kiss 💅
