I can't figure out how to use XML::Generator's xmldecl method. to generate the following tag:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

The doc's just say "This can be used to specify the version, encoding, and other XML-related declarations (i.e., anything inside the <?xml?> tag)". Nothing else I've found has helped with this method.

I've tried messing around with conformance and escape but nothing I seems to work.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use XML::Generator;

my $gen = XML::Generator->new(
    conformance => 'strict',
    escape    => 'always',
    pretty    => 2
);

print $gen->xmldecl(['UTF-8', 'no']),
$gen->request(
    $gen->name('value')
);

Yealds:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<request>
  <name>value</name>
</request>

Thanks in advance for any help, AzaBat
