Perlmonks:
Salutations! All points that you have made about me being extremely shabby etc. are valid. Appreciate the answers as well. Many thanks for the same. I should have done the basic check of XML for validity. Work pressure dominated - shouldn't have, but it did. I did not mean to be pompous when I used that subject line in the mail, nor was it an attempt to show-off that I found a bug. It was just my reaction to being vexed. Anyway, will certainly be careful next time and yes, will ensure that any questions that I post will not be in any way presumptuous.
Cheers,
Manu
