DBI's quote method would quote it so it would "work" in SQL.
I don't think it reflects Shlomo's question.

Back to the main issue: Uri mentioned HTML::Entities, which should do the 
job.
HTML::Mason uses it for its | h magic 
(http://www.masonbook.com/book/chapter-2.mhtml#TOC-ANCHOR-4 "Escaping 
substitutions").

I am almost positive that XML entities are 100% the same as HTML entities.
I am not an XML fiend (far from it, actually) so I don't know for sure.
