I have come across a problem where the SOAP::Lite serialization
logic generates:

Wide character in subroutine entry at 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/SOAP/Lite.pm line 250.

consistently where the returned DS contains UTF-8.

Is that what you're referring to ? In this case, stripping the
UTF-8 flag seems to make no difference.
