Hello.
You need "use utf8;" for literal strings to be treated as utf8 "character".
#!/usr/bin/perl
use XML::Parser;
use utf8; ###added
$xml = "<word>Müller</word>";
$ch = sub {
my ($p, $w) = @_;
binmode STDOUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)"; ###added
print "#$w#\n";
};
# the next commented 2 lines mean the same
# and translate the output to iso-8859-1
# $p = XML::Parser->new();
$p = XML::Parser->new(ProtocolEncoding => 'UTF-8');
# this line do the right job, but why??
#$p = XML::Parser->new(ProtocolEncoding => 'ISO-8859-1');
$p->setHandlers('Char' => $ch);
$p->parse($xml);
From perluniintro ...
...if your Perl script itself is encoded in UTF-8, you can use UTF-8 in your identifier names, and in string and regular expression literals, by saying use utf8. This is not the default because scripts with legacy 8-bit data in them would break.
