Ok so that should work given the string has utf8 flag set.
I guess the problem may be that my string doesn't have it set.
I'm getting the string as output from XML::DOM::Document->toString, so I
should investigate with that module why isn't setting the utf8 flag.
Thanks
Aaron

I have a UTF-8 string which I want to output as ascii and have the UTF8
characters converted to numeric character references.
I tried using Encode with the FB_HTMLCREFS fail back option enabled, but
for
the 2 byte UTF8 characters, 2 incorrect char refs were printed out instead
of the correct one.
You mean like this:
--------------------------------------
#!perl
use Encode;
my $s = chr(0x100)."4";
my $n = encode('ascii',$s,Encode::FB_HTMLCREF);
print "$n\n";
__END__
----------------------------------------------
Works for me:
nick(_at_)llama:/home/p4work/mail> perl /tmp/try
Ā4
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
