Re: XMLin question

A1: Use an html entity - < - perhaps (not sure that's valid) or unicode, U+003C (60) .

A2: Well beyond the scope of this reply.... and probably a question asked only in frustration. If you really want an answer, suggest p5p.

If you didn't program your executable by toggling in binary, it wasn't really programming!

Because those active on p5p are among the possible sources of an answer to an extremely esoteric question; an answer that probably would otherwise require the OP have the experience, knowledge and patience to profit by digging thru perlguts and who-knows-what-else. On the other hand, if you, Anonymonk, can answer it here, I'll be delighted to upvote a brief and correct exposition that's accessible to those of less than Perl Porter stature (like /me).

The question is typical for people who have only a vague notion of what XML is, and therefore they don't know the basic rules of XML, and they are trying to parse broken XML.	[reply]
