The problem is now that the value is outputed as utf-8, and if you want to manage such attribute, you have to convert it into bytes : http://www.ahfb2000.com/webmaster_help_desk/showthread.php?t=4735 This page helps me to convert the utf-8 into hexadecimal. Then you can easily transform hexa to binary. Did someone on this list use this kind of attributes in his perl code? Clément.
