Hi all,

I encountered a really weird error while using perl script to search in a big XML/RDF file (225MB) in CGI.

I don't know what's wrong with it as the script works perfectly with a sample XML/RDF file (only 4K) which is the same format as the big one and their only difference is the file size. I attached the error msg below for your reference

Software error:
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 221, column 97, byte 12020 at C:/Perl/site/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187

I have searched through perl-xml Q&A's and it seems that I did't have problems they listed such as double quotations or incorrect encoding notations. So pls could anyone offer some suggestions?

many many thanks,
