Im running into some trouble using the XML::Parser module. I'm able to successfully parse xml output from a socket but I recieve an error when I try to parse an xml file. Here is my code segment for opening the parser and trying to parse the file: 

my $configReader = new XML::Parser;</br>
$configReader->setHandlers ( Start => \&readConfig,
                                 End   => \&HandleEnd,
                                 Char  => \&HandleChar
                                );</br>

$configReader->parsefile( $configFile );

I reiece the following error:
unclosed token at line 1, column 0, byte 0 at
H:/SwDev/Rdriver/Perl.5.8/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187

it seems like there is something wrong with the module itself from the error but I want to make sure. I also recieve the same exact error when I tried to read in an XML file using XML::Simple 's XMLin utility. Can anyone out there help me? Thanks.
