Re: XML::Smart and UTF-8

[choroba]

I don't work with XML::Smart. However, its documentation says, that this kind of encoding happens for binary data. Are you sure Perl knows your incoming data are UTF-8 encoded? (Is the data really Цитата and Попобава?)

You can also try to directly specify you don't want to encode binary data by set_binary(0).

I'm not actually sure (but it is text, not binary data; it comes from common input type=text html field). And the data is as you've decoded.
