Re^2: Entities confuse encoding in XML::Simple

Even if it somehow had the wrong encoding, isn't it strange that some of the output is correct and some is not?

Anyway, the terminal is utf8 and I was surprised to see that binmode STDOUT, ':encoding(UTF-8)' actually made it worse:

foo
foo with an –
some latin1 encoded chars: Г¦ГёГҐ Г&#134;Г&#152;Г&#133;
same, but this time whith an – .. Г¦ГёГҐ Г&#134;Г&#152;Г&#133;
same, but this thime with an ” instead .. : Г¦ГёГҐ Г&#134;Г&#152;Г&#13
+3;
$VAR1 = {
          'p' => [
                   'foo',
                   "foo with an \x{2013}",
                   'some latin1 encoded chars: Г¦ГёГҐ Г&#134;Г&#152;Г&
+#133;',
                   "same, but this time whith an \x{2013} .. \x{c3}\x{
+a6}\x{c3}\x{b8}\x{c3}\x{a5} \x{c3}\x{86}\x{c3}\x{98}\x{c3}\x{85}",
                   "same, but this thime with an \x{201d} instead .. :
+ \x{c3}\x{a6}\x{c3}\x{b8}\x{c3}\x{a5} \x{c3}\x{86}\x{c3}\x{98}\x{c3}\
+x{85}"
                 ]
        };

kind of, but its more of workaround. I juts go through the xml and replace every & with an &amp before I pass it on to XMLin. Something like: `my @xml = <FILE>; # slurp .. close(FILE); foreach( @xml){ # Ugly hack to keep XML::Simple(?) from double encoding certain stri +ngs, # see: perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=660162 and perlmonks.org/index +.pl?node_id=215678 s/&/&/g; }` [download] I _think_ number entities like &x### are legal in xml and should be either left untouched or maybe "converted" into the utf8 char? anyone?
