[Nmap-scanner-general] newbie question

[Michael B. <mb...@ao...>]

This is the script I am using from the perldoc example;

#! /usr/bin/perl

use Nmap::Scanner;

   #  Batch scan method

     my $scanner = new Nmap::Scanner;
    $scanner->tcp_syn_scan();
    $scanner->add_scan_port('1-1024');
    $scanner->add_scan_port(8080);
    $scanner->guess_os();
    $scanner->max_rtt_timeout(200);
    $scanner->add_target('my.target.host.com');

  #   $results is an instance of Nmap::Scanner::Backend::Results
    my $results = $scanner->scan();

  #  Print the results out as an well-formatted XML document
         print $results->as_xml();



This is the output I am getting;

Unable to recognise encoding of this document at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/XML/SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm line 96.
<nmap-error>

I installed Nmap::Scanner from CPAN on fedora core 5 machine.  What am I 
  am I doing wrong here?  Any and all help is very much appreciated.  I 
am new to perl scripting.. But I love nmap it rocks..

Thanks for everyone's time.
