Dear Monks,

I try to read the following xml file
<ABC> <A1> <01>100</01> </A1> </ABC>
This is the code that should do it:
#! /usr/bin/perl use XML::Simple ; use strict ; use warnings ; my $obj = XML::Simple->new() ; my $xml = $obj->XMLin("fl.xml") ;
The result I get running this scrupt is
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 3, column 5, byte 18 at /usr/l +ib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.2/i686-linux/XML/Parser.pm line 187
I noticed that the error message disapeared when I changed <01> to <xx>
So why do I get this error ?

Thanks
Luca
