    This is the point, you need to encode $mTest_text into
    UTF8 before doing anything with that string. You have
    promised the XML library that you will be working with
    UTF8, therefore it is up to you to ensure that everything
    is UTF8 (not ISO8859-1).

    Any further questions should be posted to comp.lang.perl.misc
    and not this newsgroup (comp.lang.perl is defunct).
