Re: UTF8 issue with XML::XPath

I would try to set the output file to UTF-8 mode, at least that's how I did it with XML::LibXML:

my $outfile = "config.xml";
open my $xml, ">:utf8", $outfile
    or die "Couldn't create '$outfile': $!";
# Alternatively:
# binmode $xml, 'utf8';
print {$xml} $xp->find('/conf')->get_node(1)->toString;
close $xml;
