Hi,
I have a very simple script to post XML using curl to an URL 

$xml ='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEST xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<TEST1>
<ID>1223</ID>
<DESCRIPTION>XXXXX</DESCRIPTION>
</TEST1>
</TEST>
';

$curl ='/usr/local/bin/curl --silent -m 120 -d "'.$xml.'" '. 'http://l
+ocalhost/check.cgi';
$responsexml = `$curl`;

print $responsexml;

[download]
On executing the script I am getting this error.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
Pls let me know what is the reason for this error, and what needs to be verified to make it work.
