My problem was that I wanted to substitute element content in XML files by entity references. These entity references are referring to the values of a Java .properties file that's used for i18n of our Java software. In order to properly parse the content of an element, I need to take different encodings into account (based on the value of the "encoding" attribute of the XML declaration). As far as I understand, the two Perl modules are able to set the encoding for individual strings. I'm wondering whether there is a module that allows me to set the encoding for a filehandle? Thanks for any help. Greetings, Holger
