Hello, I'm having a problem with XML::DOM output when the xml includes panctuated latin characters. utf8 is used throughout my system, foreign languages (Greek, Chinese, Russian etc..) are displayed well. Below is a one-liner I created so I can send some code for you guys to test, however in the one-liner it works just fine. Inside my program it messes up the unicode chars

use XML::DOM;
my $doc = XML::DOM::Document->new;
my $decl = $doc->createXMLDecl("1.0", "utf-8");
$doc->setXMLDecl($decl);
$tag = $doc->createElement("word");
$tag->addText("IssuéTést");
$doc->appendChild($tag);
print $doc->toString();

I get the following correct xml:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
  <word>Issu&#233;T&#233;st</word>

[download]

However inside get the value Issu㩔st. I need some ideas on how to debug it. Thanks Avihai.
