You want to replace %20, not 20.

Okay, well what is the solution?

Might help somebody else to know what the solution was.

Fair enough, as posted on codingforums:

You can use a negated lookahead assertion:

$_ = 'only2020%20left20on20/,';
s/20(?!%)/ /g;
print;

means to replace 20 with a space if it is not proceeded by the % symbol
