These characters are causing grief and I'm not sure how to encode them or get the perl module XML::Writer to handle them so XML::Parser does not barf on them. FWIW: the xml is and I thought that encoding would handle those characters. thanks. -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
