Indeed, I suggest that you find an "XML lint" tool and run it against the file, along with its schema if you have one (you should...) to see if it is, in fact, valid XML. If it is, then I cordially suggest that you may prefer to use a more rugged set of tools such as XML::LibXML and its brethren ... which employs an industry-standard set of XML libraries to reliably do just about anything that you could possibly want to do with an XML file of any size. (Including, I might add, the use of "XPath expressions" ... the Swiss Army Knife of XML.)

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).
