Re: [Nmap-scanner-general] encoding problem

[Brandon B. <be...@gm...>]

I had the exact same issue and gave up on Nmap::Scanner and just used
XML::Simple.  Here is the code below.

use XML::Simple;
use Data::Dumer;

$nmap =3D "\"c:\\Program Files\\nmap\\nmap.exe\" -v -v -v -sS -p 22-23
-O -A -oX -";

  $xml =3D new XML::Simple;
  $output =3D `$nmap $ip`;
  $data =3D $xml->XMLin($output);

Dumper($xml);
