Hi all, I'm having a small problem getting an xml file properly fetched from the web. I believe it has to do with the fact that the charset isn't stated in the document, but not sure. It looks like perl is getting the file in non-ascii mode.

perl -MLWP::Simple -e "getprint 'http://atys.ryzom.com/api/character.p +hp?key=FR521366R0REA16F998&part=items'"
Or as a sub in my script
use LWP::Simple; my ($html, @found, $line); my $url = 'http://atys.ryzom.com/api/character.php?key=FR521366R0REA16 +F998&part=items'; $html = get("$url"); unless (length($html)) { warn "Unable to load page for '$url'\n"; } my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new( "Content-type" => "text/xml", "charset" => "UTF-8"); print $headers->as_string() . "\n"; #print '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'; print $html;
