Hi I don't manage to build an XML::DOM object with french characters. In the XML::DOM::Parser documentation, it says that the characters are encoded in utf-8 characterset during the parsing. The problem is that this module doesn't seem to support non-american characters,because when I convert my XML::DOM::Document object to a string, only the attributes are encoded in UTF-8 and they are not always well encoded. Moreover, when i use the: ProtocolEncoding=>'ISO-8859-1' option in the XML::DOM::Parser constructor, my output is not the same as my input. Does anybody manage to make the XML::Parser module compliant with non ASCII characters? Am I missing something? I really need your help. Here is a code example, 
use XML::DOM;

 my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
 my $xmlstring="<?xml version='1\.0'?>
<ACTION>
<INPUT LABEL=\"Radio Button\"/>
<INPUT LABEL=\"été\"/>
<RADIO ID=\"List\">
éééàààùùù</RADIO>
</ACTION>";
 my $doc;
 eval {
   $doc = $parser->parse($xmlstring);
 };
 if ($@) {
  die "ERROR : $@\n";
 } 
 print $doc->toString;

Thanks, Luc
