Consider the following...

#!perl

  $string = <<"EOF";
Å
å
Ä
ä
Ö
ö
EOF

  %char = (
  'Ä' => '&Auml;',
  'ö' => '&ouml;',
  );


    print "BEFORE\n------\n$string\n\n";

    foreach $key (sort keys(%char)) {
	$string =~ s/$key/$char{$key}/g;
    }

    print "\nAFTER\n-----\n$string\n";

__END__


Hope this helps.
