Thanks for the info, Joost. I know that it must have been
already discussed here, somewhere in the monastery, I just couldn't find it.
However, after looking at the fixes posted at PerlMonks modules 2.0,
I notice none of the them touch the real problem: not doing XML parsing in a sane way.
For example, they all will simply fail if there are spaces between
an attribute and its value. Probably after some refinement,
one can eventually ends up with a regex that will really work.
But I think it's much simpler to use a good XML module to do
that job.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
