Just a stab in the dark but I have not like the way modules have worked before so I have gone into the installed module in /usr/lib/... and changed it there. You might see if that is feasible for your problem or there may be a way in the module already to set the output type.

We use XML::LibXML in our code, which is in turn used to parse the sent and received XML between our backend and front end webservers... Since we upgraded to perl 5.8.5 from 5.6.1 all our processes which read the XML and then input that data into ORACLE fail because the character encoding of the data coming back from XML::LibXML is now in utf8... I tested this by doing the following my $user_id= Unicode::String::utf8( $self->{user_id}); $self->{user_id} = $user_id->latin1; This then fixed the issue... However it would be a mammoth task to upgrade several hundred modules to add this fix to each and every value returned from XML::LibXML.... So my question is this. Is there a better way I can make XML::LibXML return latin1 rather than UTF8?
