in reply to XML::Twig parse html trouble

remiah:

I tried your code using XML::Twig v3.39, perl v5.14.2 and it looks like it's working properly. For the data section, I used:

<html><body>
<div>M&M</div>
<div>M&amp;M</div>
<div>M&amp;amp;M</div>
</body></html>

[download]

and the output is:

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <div>M&amp;M</div>
    <div>M&amp;M</div>
    <div>M&amp;amp;M</div>
  </body>
</html>

[download]

Update: In light of the previous reply, I'm using HTML::TreeBuilder v4.2

    Thanks for reply, roboticus!

    I forgot to report module version and error message. 

    >perl twigtest1.pl

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 2, column 8, byte 34 at C:/stra
rl/vendor/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187.
 at twigtest1.pl line 6.

>perl -MXML::Twig -e "print $XML::Twig::VERSION;"
3.44
>perl -MHTML::TreeBuilder -e "print $HTML::TreeBuilder::VERSION;"
5.03
    I got same error with your test data.
    This is very strange for me, cause I used XML::Twig as HTML parser for several times, and I got no such error like this. I can't think that there was no "character entity references" at that time...

    I would like to try available older version of modules.
    regards.
