Hello Monks, I have a script accepting XML input through STDIN.

$xmlPayload = do { local $/; <STDIN> };
`echo "$xmlPayload" >> /temp/MyLog.log`;

[download]
the initial XML looks like this:

<param name="assignedgroup">fraud</param>
<param name="assigneduser">username</param>
<param name="severity">minor</param>
<param name="title">Bad Fraud Thing</param>
but when this same input is taken in through STDIN it ends up like this:

<param name=assignedgroup>fraud</param>
<param name=assigneduser>username</param>
<param name=severity>minor</param>
<param name=title>Bad Fraud Thing</param>
you can see the double quotes are stripped. I'm not sure where this is happening at. I take it in through STDIN and just echo out to a file and the double quotes are gone. I've taken this same input and passed it to a Python script and verified the double quotes are present in the same output file. So the only thing I can come up with is STDIN is stripping it.

is this a known issue? are there arguments to stop it from stripping the double quotes?
thanks!
