I am using XML::Twig and setting twig_handlers to parse the actual document. The problem I am encountering is that the parser mysteriously dies parsing some relatively simple documents. Below are the handlers being called.

    my $handlers = {
        'request' => sub { $self->_handler_set_object('request',  @_ )
+; # got to here with a warn statement  },
        $response => sub { $self->_handler_set_object('response', @_ )
+;
                           $self->_object_tree(        $response, @_ )
+;
                           # Got to Here, with a warn statement },
    };

    eval { $self->twig( XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => $handlers )) 
+};
    croak 'ERROR: ' . $EVAL_ERROR if $EVAL_ERROR;
    
    # Got Here
    eval { $self->twig->parse( $self->get_xml ) };
    # Cannot get to here
    croak 'ERROR: ' . $EVAL_ERROR . qq{\nXML: } . $self->get_xml if $E
+VAL_ERROR;

I think the XML parsing engine is blowing up because I never get to the croak error message when it dies. I could upgrade the XML libraries and hope that fixes the problem but I am not familiar with what libraries I would have to update. I like Twig because the code was fairly easy to write, and would rather not have to use something more complex if I can avoid it.

Anyone got any ideas.
