[Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Jack C. <ja...@mo...>]

Hi,

Thanks for this module, I've been struggling with Nmap-Parser-XML and this
looks much more promising. However, I'm having some trouble getting it to
work.

Script:
use Nmap::Scanner;
my $scanner =3D new Nmap::Scanner;
$scanner->tcp_syn_scan;
$scanner->add_scan_port('1-100');
$scanner->guess_os();
$scanner->add_target('172.16.252.1');
my $results =3D $scanner->scan();
my $xml =3D $results->as_xml();
print $xml;
exit 0;

Result:
Unable to recognise encoding of this document at
C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm line 96.
<nmap-error>
  <pid=3D"1168"/>
  <cmdline=3D"'C:\Program Files\Nmap\nmap.exe' -v -v -v -sS -p 1-100 -O  -o=
X -
172.16.252.1"/>
  <perl-msg>Document requires an element [Ln: 1, Col: 0]
</perl-msg>
  <nmap-msg></nmap-msg>
</nmap-error>

I get the feeling that this is probably something simple, but STFW and RTFM
aren't turning anything up yet... everything I've read implies that PurePer=
l
is the right parser to use. However, since installing this parser PPM throw=
s
the same encoding error, so it looks like it's horked. Advice, please?

thanks,
