| Subject: | regexp error parsing certain feed (forwarded from user) |
The file below run as "perl bar.pl" gets an error
Unmatched [ in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/![ <-- HERE CDATA[/ at
/usr/share/perl5/XML/RSSLite.pm line 266.
I suspect the parsing somehow lets "CDATA[" get in as a tag to be
matched, or skipped. I know rsslite doesn't handle cdata, but I think a
little quoting can protect it against evil tags (or apparent tags). I
got some joy from the diff below.
I struck this at a feed
