hi,

i upgraded my perl from 5.6/5.6.1 to 5.8 and encounter that xerces
writes an xml file with iso-8859-1 instead of utf8
there is an unsolved problem of a false header (xerces writes utf-16
instead of utf- but with old perl it reads/parses results are the
same as the inputs - now with new perl it writes iso-8859-1 but with
same false header AND when it reads/parses it understandable
misinterprets the characters => so i loose data
im searching for a solution/option writing the right (old) utf-8 data
or the right header so parsing gets the right result - somebody knows
how ?

best regards
Thomas

ps: at time i change my header in an extra step which costs much time
for big data...
