Hi, I've got 5 versions of code incorporating various suggestions made to me, none of which I can (yet) get to work on windows. The last version I have tested on a Unix machine and it worked OK. Trying to open this Unix created XML on windows results in it opening OK

#!/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;

 my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
 my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:\\accentTest.xml", ProtocolEncoding 
+=> 'UTF-8');
 
 # Print doc file
 $doc->printToFile ("c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml");

#re-open file in UTF-8 encoded filehandle
open my $fh, ">:utf8", "accentTestOutPut.xml" or die $!;

$doc->print($fh);

# cleanup
 $doc->dispose;
[download]

#!/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;

 my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
 my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:\\accentTest.xml", ProtocolEncoding 
+=> 'UTF-8');
 
 # Print doc file
 $doc->printToFile ("c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml");

#re-open file in UTF-8 encoded filehandle
open my $fh, ">:utf8", "accentTestOutPut.xml" or die $!;

print $fh "\x{FEFF}";  # BOM

$doc->print($fh);

# cleanup
 $doc->dispose;

#!/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;
use UTF8BOM;

 my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
 my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:\\accentTest.xml", ProtocolEncoding 
+=> 'UTF-8');
 
 # Print doc file
 $doc->printToFile ("c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml");

UTF8BOM->insert_into_file('c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml');

# cleanup
 $doc->dispose;

#!/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;
use Encode qw(encode_utf8);

my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:\\accentTest.xml", ProtocolEncoding =
+> 'UTF-8');
 
# Print doc file
$doc->printToFile ("c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml");

open my $fh, ">:utf8", "accentTestOutPut.xml" or die $!;

encode_utf8($fh);

$doc->print($fh);

 $doc->dispose;

#!/bin/perl -w
use XML::DOM;
use PerlIO::encoding;

my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;

my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("c:\\accentTest.xml", ProtocolEncoding =
+> 'UTF-8');

# Print doc file
$doc->printToFile ("c:\\accentTestOutPut.xml");

open my $fh, ">:encoding(UTF-8)", "accentTestOutPut.xml" or die $!;

$doc->print($fh);

# cleanup
$doc->dispose;

What I have also discovered is that changing the 1st line of the XML to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> (as suggested by ikegami) in all cases results in me being able to open the file OK in windows.
