Re^2: Valid XML and XML::Simple

[mrguy123]

Thanks for the tip. I am trying to force XML::SAX, but am getting this error

Can't locate object method "new" via package "XML::SAX" at /exlibris/p
+roduct/perl-5.8.7/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/XML/SAX/ParserFactory.pm line 4
+3.

I will keep working on it

From http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Simple/lib/XML/Simple.pm#Caveats:

Names in XML must begin with a letter. The remaining characters may be letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_) or full stops (.). It is also allowable to include one colon (:) in an element name but this should only be used when working with namespaces (XML::Simple can only usefully work with namespaces when teamed with a SAX Parser).

From http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Simple/lib/XML/Simple.pm#SEE_ALSO:

To generate documents with namespaces, XML::NamespaceSupport is required.
