Could Encode work on it?
use Encode;
$new = encode("iso-8859-1",decode("iso-8859-8",$str));
Heaven forbid!
The html entities are Unicode decimal, so all you need to do in this
case is get the number n and then execute chr n in a substitution:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use strict;
binmode STDOUT, 'utf8';
$_ = "“א”";
s~&#([\d]+);~chr $1~eg;
print; # -=> “א”
