LWP::Simple and utf8 problem
 

Hi,

I want to retrieve a webpage that includes unicode characters using the
LWP::Simple module. But how can I tell LWP::Simple which coding it should
use as I haven't found anything concerning coding in the docs.

I use the following:

---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::Simple;

my $file = "tmpfile";
my $url;

$url**=*"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?";
$url .= "db=Pubmed&retmax=500&id=15017969&retmode=xml" ;

getstore($url, $file);
exit;
-----

As it seems, the unicode characters are not correctly stored in the file. As
I'm not very familiar with utf8 stuff, I'd like to ask for a hint on how to
correctly store utf8-encoded webpages in a local file...!?
