Re^3: XML::Smart - undesired decoding of special XML characters

[roboticus]

NeedForPerl:

I just checked your code with Your Mother's recommendation and it worked just fine. I did, however, have to remove the ä symbol because XML::Smart complained about it being encoded incorrectly. After that, and changing 'FALSE' to 0, it gave me (the presumably expected):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?meta name="GENERATOR" content="XML::Smart/1.78 Perl/5.022004 [cygwin
+]" ?>
<log>
  <logentry revision="12345">
    <author>someAuthor</author>
    <date>2017-10-11T09:32:15.704935Z</date>
    <msg>This is my SVN message with characters like or &amp;.</msg>
  </logentry>
</log>

I could easily have something munged in my various Windows/Cygwin/vim settings to have messed up the 'ä', but I'm mentioning it just in case you need to know of it.

When your only tool is a hammer, all problems look like your thumb.

Thank you. Everything works fine. I have no problems with the "ä".
