Hi,

I'm using XML::Simple to parse some xml data. I find it works inconsistently for some cases. I'm just trying to make it provide consistent style of output. But, I couldn't get it. Here is my sample program.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use XML::Simple;


my $res = "<results>
                        <binding name=\'description\'>
                                <literal xml:lang=\'en\'>First article
+. </literal>
                        </binding>
        </results>";

my $res2 = "<results>
                        <binding name=\'image_url\'>
                                <uri>Football.png</uri>
                        </binding>
                        <binding name=\'description\'>
                                <literal xml:lang=\'en\'>Second articl
+e.</literal>
                        </binding>
        </results>";

my $result = XMLin($res);
my $result2 = XMLin($res2);

print Dumper $result;
print Dumper $result2;

Output it produces is,

$VAR1 = {
          'binding' => {
                       'literal' => {
                                    'content' => 'First article. ',
                                    'xml:lang' => 'en'
                                  },
                       'name' => 'description'
                     }
        };
$VAR1 = {
          'binding' => {
                       'image_url' => {
                                      'uri' => 'Football.png'
                                    },
                       'description' => {
                                        'literal' => {
                                                     'content' => 'Sec
+ond article.',
                                                     'xml:lang' => 'en
+'
                                                   }
                                      }
                     }
        };

If you look at description tag. You could find the difference in the output it produced. I find, it works fine for 'Second article.' in the example. Is there any way to make it give the similar structure?

Thanks.
