Re: [Soaplite-devel] Where is the SOAP-response encoded to UTF-8?

[Martin K. <mar...@fe...>]

Hi,

newer versions of SOAP::Lite do an encode('UTF-8', $content) around the
XML content.

Newer versions of perl (I think since 5.8.5, but I'm not sure) use UTF-8
as their internal string representation, and accept either UTF-8 or
platform encoding as input. Thus, the combination of both may have lead
to the unexpected fix ;-)

Best regards,

Martin
