Dear friends,

I am using XML::Simple->XMLin function for reading data from XML file and converting into perl hash. Whenever XML data contains control characters in it, I am receiving above error. How to solve that error to convert the XML data to hash. I tried setting <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> and <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, but still I am unable to parse the XML data to a perl hash. Kindly anyone suggest me a solution.

MY XML DATA

<EVENT>
    <CALLDETAILS>
        <STATIONID>01</STATIONID>
        <CALLSESSIONID>00000000020712130852059</CALLSESSIONID>
        <EXTENSIONNO>8143</EXTENSIONNO>

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
