    Here's how I'd do it on the Mac. All you need essentially is to
    change the back-slashes to "&#x" and append ";" to the byte-pair.

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    # or whatever shebang ActivePerl requires...
    # ... anything, probably.
    $_ = q@
    \u064a\u0631\u062c\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0645
    \u062d\u0627\u0648\u0644\u0629 \u0645\u062c
    \u062f\u062f\u06272
    @ ;
    s~$/~~g ; # removes line endings from above
    # you'll need a Win32 path string here:-
    my $htmlfile = "/tmp/arabic.html" ;
    # convert to html character entities
    s~\\u([0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f][0-9a-f])~\&\#x$1\;~gi;
    # write the html stuff=
    open HTML, ">$htmlfile";
    print HTML << "END_OF_HTML" ;

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"
             "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Wilbur/HTML32.dtd">
    <html>$/
            $_$/
    </html>

    END_OF_HTML
    # You'll need to open it the Win32 way
    #
    `open $htmlfile` ;
