Hi I am writing a CGI application that uses WIN32::OLE to interface to Microsoft ADO, MS Access, SQL Server and MSXML for XML documents and XSLT transformations.
I suspect that something in the way I am passing data around (or in the ADO implementation of 'savetoxml') is not dealing correctly with XML document encoding declarations. The data is originally in an MS Access database - but has been entered using copy and paste from MS Word documents from around the world - so contains many weird and wonderful bytes. To help in my debugging process can anyone tell me how WIN32::OLE deals with 'strings' returned from method calls? i.e. - are they pure byte data as output by the method (and maybe in UTF-16)? - or are they converted to Perl's internal format (using any current Perl encoding settings)? - or does something else happen? The problems I am having are primarily when outputting XML documents (or HTML) to send to the browser. e.g. my $OUTPUT=""; $OUTPUT=$xmldoc->transformNode($xsltsheet); print $OUTPUT; Any help - or comments on using ADO's savetoxml - greatly appreciated.
