Yes, I had thought that might be it but I held out hope that it might be 
automagically and if not that the use open pragma would affect all IO 
operations.

Yes, as was I, my understanding was the same as yours, that it allows 
you to have scripts containing characters in that encoding, but it gets 
rid of the wide character in output warning so. What problem does it 
cause you?

If I get around to digging into the SOAP::Lite classes to fix the 
problem there I'll let you know how I get on.

I suppose I should have mentioned this earlier, I'm using Perl 5.8.7, so 
fairly recent.
