Handling special characters in peoples names in XML

Hi. I'm debugging an application written in Perl that converse data exported from the Nessus security scanner in xml format. I have narrowed down the bug to an issue with special characters in names that are in the file such as Frédéric and Grégoire , thus é are most likely the guilty parties.

DBI driving me nuts ... !

Hi Please can you advise ? #!/usr/bin/perl use Mysql; $dbh = Mysql->connect("localhost","mailscanner","root","c0nc3pt") or die ("Error " . Mysql->errno . " - " . Mysql->errstr); $sql = "SELECT to_address FROM maillog LIMIT 10;"; $sth = $dbh->query($sql) or die ("Error " . Mysql->errno . " - " .
