Requests have been made to escape or filter control characters. A patch has been submitted (v0.72) to do the latter, so that's what we've got now :). Any suggestions on a good way to resolve this problem? Thanks, - m. [guest - Wed Feb 16 19:03:15 2005]: Show quoted text

I've got the same problem with XML::Dumper 0.76 and German umlauts: $ perl -le 'use XML::Dumper qw(pl2xml xml2pl); print XML::Dumper->VERSION; my $x = pl2xml "ü"; print $x; print xml2pl $x' 0.76 <perldata> <scalar>ü</scalar> </perldata> not well-formed (invalid token) at line 2, column 9, byte 20 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-64int-ld/XML/Parser.pm line 187

As regards my problem with umlauts, including an encoding into the DTD works for me, e.g.: $xml =~ s/^(<\?xml version="1\.0")\?>/$1 encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>/ That's only a workaround, of course. Regards, fany

Perl has a pretty effective syntax for representing non-printable characters. How about modeling that? Randy
