Subject: CDATA in descriptions
I create an item and add a description that contains "<![CDATA[ {some stuff} ]]>" The CDATA tag gets wiped when I parse and re-write, but the contents inside the CDATA remain intact and are included in the description. This seems to be the case regardless of the options I use with XML::RSS (RSS version, encoding, etc). This is with 1.05 of XML::RSS and Perl 5.6.1 on i386-linux (not sure which Linux - it's a friend's ISP) I don't have time to send a concise snippet, but if you can't reproduce easily, let me know and I'll put something together.
This is a very old bug-report, without a good reproduction recipe or testcase. Closing as invalid. If you can supply a testcase, please file a new bug report.
