decoding URL encoded strings
Hi,
I have a couple pages of URL encoded strings that I need to unencode (they were originally in Arabic). So the first step is to unencode the strings and then to translate them to English. They are actually lists of words so the translation from Arabic to English shouldn't be too complicated. Any suggestions as to how I might best proceed?

NAME

       Text::English - Porter's stemming algorithm

SYNOPSIS

	   use Text::English;
	   @stems = Text::English::stem( @words );

DESCRIPTION

       This routine applies the Porter Stemming Algorithm to its parameters, returning the stemmed words.  It is derived from the C program
       "stemmer.c" as found in freewais and elsewhere, which contains these notes:

	  Purpose:    Implementation of the Porter stemming algorithm documented
		      in: Porter, M.F., "An Algorithm For Suffix Stripping,"
		      Program 14(3), July 1980, pp. 130-137.
	  Provenance: Written by B. Frakes and C. Cox, 1986.

       I have re-interpreted areas that use Frakes and Cox's "WordSize" function. My version may misbehave on short words starting with "y", but I
       can't think of any examples.

       The step numbers correspond to Frakes and Cox, and are probably in Porter's article (which I've not seen).  Porter's algorithm still has
       rough spots (e.g current/currency, -ings words), which I've not attempted to cure, although I have added support for the British -ise
       suffix.

NOTES

       This is version 0.1. I would welcome feedback, especially improvements to the punctuation-stripping step.
