I'm trying to get Nmap::Scanner working, and I'm trying to use one of the examples from its perldoc.

Script:
use Nmap::Scanner;
my $scanner = new Nmap::Scanner;
$scanner->tcp_syn_scan;
$scanner->add_scan_port('1-100
');
$scanner->guess_os();
$scanner->add_target(' 172.16.252.1');
my $results = $scanner->scan();
my $xml = $results->as_xml();
print $xml;
exit 0;

Result:
Unable to recognise encoding of this document at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm line 96.
<nmap-error>
  <pid="1168"/>
  <cmdline="'C:\Program Files\Nmap\nmap.exe' -v -v -v -sS -p 1-100 -O  -oX - 172.16.252.1"/>
  <perl-msg>Document requires an element [Ln: 1, Col: 0]
</perl-msg>
  <nmap-msg></nmap-msg>
</nmap-error>

I get the feeling that this is probably something simple, but STFW and RTFM aren't turning anything up yet... everything I've read implies that PurePerl is the right parser to use. However, since installing this parser PPM throws the same encoding error, so it looks like something's horked in Perl itself. Uninstalling XML-Sax-PurePerl puts PPM back to rights, but breaks Nmap::Scanner. Advice, please?

thanks,
