I am wondering why you are using `Dumper()` and `encode()` at all? What happens when you do the following? `use open qw/:std :utf8/; use strict; use Lyo::OSLC::CQ::CM; ... my $client = Lyo::OSLC::CQ::CM->new; ... my $data = $client->oslcWhere(...); print $data;` [download] The documentation of the `->oslcWhere()` method of the module Lyo::OSLC::CQ::CM (which does not appear to be on CPAN; so I hope I've found the right one via googling) says: The response from the server is returned in XML format. So in that case I would use an XML parser such as XML::LibXML to parse it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Why do you have a string named `$xml` which is assigned the output of Data::Dumper? Note that, as I already said, Data::Dumper likely doesn't output characters above 127 but instead outputs Perl code that's roughly equivalent. You most likely want to construct your strings differently. What is the actual content of `$data`? Maybe you want to re-read SSCCE (which I misspelled earlier, sorry) to give us some more concrete code, data and output to work with.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
