The big issue is that if you have First Last <this@that.com> within your XML, you have bad XML. (It should be First Last <this@that.com>.) It is better to fix these files. I am not sure how you came into this, because XML::Simple usually escapes these things:

$ perl -MXML::Simple -e "print XMLout({ a => 'a <b>' })"
<opt a="a &lt;b&gt;" />

It could be the version you're using. The example above used

$ which_pm XML::Simple
XML::Simple       2.13    c:/tools/apache/Perl/site/lib/XML/Simple.pm
