Well, I always thought that choice is a good thing. > Does the perl parser correctly handle ISO entities like ä , for > example ? Unfortunately it does not, or I did something wrong. But it should be possible to fix that by using an external entity. Or file a bug against libexpat1 (which is used by libxml-parser-perl).

It does use various encodings though, according to the man page. Greetings, Oliver -- Oliver Kurth mailto:kurth@leinekanal.de http://leinekanal.de
