Another simple one for you guys :)

Trying to place occurances of + with ' ' (a space) from a string, and %3a with : from another string like so:

$four =~ s/"+"/  /;
$five =~ s/"%3a"/:/;

This doesn't do anything

Any ideas?

I think you are looking for "+" rather than +.

my $str = 'Here+is+some+text%3aand+some+more%3a';
$str =~ s/\+/ /g;
$str =~ s/%3a/:/g;
print $str;

Why you quote them when you dont search for quotes?

This is how you should do it

$_ =~ s/\+/ /g;
$_ =~ s/%3a/:/g;

And if you know that the + or the %3a are not occur more than ones in every line then you don't need the g at the end.
But if there are more than one + in the same line, and more than one %3a then you should use it.

Was using quotes because + and % have purpose in Perl - using quotes was my stab in the dark!

Thanks for the reply - all of them
