Yahoo offers something that I can use. I can send yahoo a request and yahoo will send me a xml file BUT I am getting errors because yahoo has urls with &'s in the file. I can either replace all of the & with %26 and save the file and then let the XML::Parser do the work or I can look at the Parser code and determine where it parses the file and make the change there. I am found where it parses the file in Expat.pm :: sub parse. Then it calls ParseString() but I cant find the sub ParseString.
