If you want to escape HTML special charcaters then i guess following would work:

CGI::escapeHTML('Usage: foo "bar" <baz>')
     # => "Usage: foo &quot;bar&quot; &lt;baz&gt;"

If thats not what you want, please look into documentation of CGI
class and i think you would find method that you are looking for.
