in reply to Re^8: XML:: DOM and Accented Characters
in thread XML:: DOM and Accented Characters

The idea was to not call ->printToFile (which you're doing in all five cases), but to use the suggested code instead:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w use XML::DOM; my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser; my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:\\accentTest.xml"); open my $fh, ">:utf8", "c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml" or die $!; print $fh "\x{FEFF}"; # BOM $doc->print($fh); $doc->dispose;

    Looking back at your post I can't believe I misunderstood you. Been banging my head against the wall all weekend and the answer was there all along :)

    Thanks almut (and everyone else who has helped). It's been a learning experience in perl and reading posts properly ;)
