Hi,
i was trying to create gpx waypoints with an utf-8 name which does not
work:

perl -Mutf8 -MGeo::Gpx -e '$g=Geo::Gpx->new(); $g->waypoints_add({ lat => 0, lon => 0, name => "üöä" }); $g->save(filename => "foo.gpx");'

$ cat foo.gpx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0" creator="Geo::Gpx" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">
<bounds maxlat="0" maxlon="0" minlat="0" minlon="0" />
<wpt lat="0" lon="0">
<name>&#xFC;&#xF6;&#xE4;</name>
</wpt>
</gpx>


The code seems to unconditionally use HTML::Entities->encode_entities
