I have two scripts that use XML::Simple to parse a small file.
The XML::Simple code is identical for both, ie
# Create XML reader object
my $xs = new XML::Simple();
# Parse XML string
my $ref = $xs->XMLin($file_str);
With an identical XML string the first script runs without complaint. The second also runs but I have a message in my log file
Thu Oct 26 12:47:37 2006 [PID 23309] [critical] Can't use string ("<sa
+:model xmlns:sa="urn:basel-rb") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" i
+n use at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/sun4-solaris/XML/Parser
+/Expat.pm line 451.
The only difference between the two routines is that in the one that reports the problem I've added my own error reporting overrides
$SIG{__WARN__} = \&log_warn;
$SIG{__DIE__} = \&log_die;
Can anyone offer me some enlightenment on whats going on?

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
