Hello monks, I'm trying to parse the example xml below, which contains Latin chars, using the XML DOM parser in code that follows. The object returned by the parser contains jibberish instead the Latin letters.

xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Name>IssuéTést</Name>

[download]

code:

use XML::DOM;

my $XmlParserObj = XML::DOM::Parser->new();
my $doc = $XmlParserObj->parsefile("in.xml");
my $str = $doc->toString();
print $str;

[download]

The output xml I get is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Name>Issu&#14932;st</Name>

[download]

Any advice on how can I get the exact chars in the output, or at least with the correct escape chars? Thanks!
