existem has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello
I get this error when trying to load up an XML file i've been provided by a website.

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 233, column 28, byte 11073 at +C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187

Now i've done a bit of playing around and I think this is because the XML contains a funny character. Namely, this one: ’

In my research to solve this problem I also came across this forum topic which talks about the same problem when loading up XML files with accented foreign characters (i.e. French, German etc.) http://f2o.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=1829

So can anyone help me force XML::Parser not to crash and accept these characters.

Ideally I would fix the XML stream, but that will probably take years to happen when relying on other people :-)

Thanks guys
Tom
