Hello all!

I've got a quick call out for help if anybody is willing. My company just started using a new credit card processing gateway. The response I receive upon sending the transaction comes back to me in a wannabe XML format but it isn't valid XML, so I can't use something like XML::Simple to parse it.

This is an example of what the response looks like: 

<status>G</status><auth_code>TT1506</auth_code><security_result>M</sec
+urity_result><order_number>0006-00310-38259</order_number>

Any ideas on what the easiest way to parse this would be? I would like to have it just stored in a hash (status=>G) or something simple like that.
