Re^5: XML::Twig and file encoding

Also this is what's printed to STDOUT:

"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n<reference id=\"ids_exc
+al_142\" xml:lang=\"en-us\">\r\n<title>The ISO character set</title>\
+r\n<refbody>\r\n<section><p>Each ISO character has its own value, exc
+ept that lowercase\r\ncharacters are translated to uppercase. Two cha
+racters that have no\r\nuppercase equivalent are: <ul>\r\n<li test=\"
+hello\">German small sharp s (\xDF - 0xDF)</li>\r\n<li test=\"hello\"
+>Lowercase y diaeresis/umlaut (\xFF - 0xFF)</li>\r\n</ul></p></sectio
+n>\r\n</refbody>\r\n</reference>"

Also this is what's printed to STDOUT: That is only half -- is that infile our outfile? You're using 2 arg open and you forgot to binmode, see perlunitut: Unicode in Perl#I/O flow (the actual 5 minute tutorial) and Is there a way to automatically decode or encode?	[reply]

I see! This was the bit I was missing: `open(NEW, '>:encoding(UTF-8)', $outfile)` That seems to do the trick. Thanks for the tips! Really appreciate it.	[reply] [d/l]

hello, sorry to keep harping on this, but I continue to experience character mishaps when using XML::Twig. The files are UTF8. They contain things like smart quotes, n-dashes, special spaces, etc. When I resave them I set UTF8: `open(NEW,'>:encoding(UTF-8)', $outfile)` But then those special characters turn to gibberish. So "0-9" becomes "0–9" My Twig setup: `my $twig= XML::Twig->new( comments => 'keep', keep_encoding => 1, pretty_print => 'indented', twig_handlers => { ...} );` [download] Sorry to be slow here but I'm at a loss as to how to do this properly. (I did read the topics suggested but they seem to suggest encoding/decoding, and then it says not to do it if you don't want them encoded.) Thanks, Scott	[reply] [d/l] [select]

hm I seem to be getting better results by removing 'keep_encoding'... that doesn't make sense, so I'm clearly not understanding how that's supposed to work. forward...	[reply]
