Re^2: Vertical Tab (\x0b) in XML::LibXML

[choroba]

When the encoding is specified, toString generates invalid XML without any error. In real life, this gets sent to a different XML processor that chokes on it. My question is why the behaviour is different, and whether there is something that should prevent me from submitting a bug report.

I get an error for that too.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

use XML::LibXML;

my $doc = 'XML::LibXML::Document'->createDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$doc->setDocumentElement(my $root = $doc->createElement('root'));
$root->appendText("\x0b");
print $doc->toString;

Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
      </root>

No errors, no warnings. Maybe a different version of the underlying C library?

Update: Thanks anonymous. 2.9.1, 2.0018 here.
