I have found this to be true whenever I am using XML::Simple, as XML by
definition returns UTF8 characters.
Handling of UTF8 is not necessarily required, although it would be nice
if UTF8 were automatically detected, for cleanliness and compatibility.
Attached is example code and example XML file.
The problem is that even when a doctype is set, LibXML returns UTF8,
which is expected and intentional.
As time goes forward and UTF8 becomes more prominent in the landscape,
it would be beneficial to not require a UTF8 downgrade in order to
perform SSH tasks in a more automated manner.
