I thought that all those characters were included in the Western European character set ISO-8859-1, and if so, your requirement makes no sense. Do you possibly mean corresponding ASCII characters?
Could you please recommend a module that can do this?
You might be able to do what you want with Encode.

Might he? How?
The Swedish alphabet contains three non-ascii characters: å, ä and ö. To my knowledge, there is no official encoding scheme that converts them to a, a and o respectively. That's natural, since 'å' is a completely different character than 'a' etc.
Sometimes, the special Swedish characters are converted in an English context, and based on how they are pronounced, like this:
å -> ou
ä -> ae
ö -> oe
I believe the OP will need to identify all the characters he would like to see converted, and code the conversion rules himself using the tr/// or s/// operator.
