Hello,

i'm using the XML::SAX::PurePerl-parser because i'm not able to use anything other than pure perl.

Is there a way to send unkown entities to an default handler like it is possible with XML::Parser? I need to do some more complicated tasks with those entities than replacing it with text.

Right now i'm also stuck at a weird problem: My XML file contains <tag>&lt;SOMETHING&gt;</tag> this seems to be resolved to <tag><SOMETHING></tag> and leads to an 'Invalid element name'-error. I can't believe this is the proper behavior - any suggestions?

Feel free to ask if i should point something out in more detail.

Thank you

VR

UPDATE: I accidentally added &lt; and &gt; to the dtd-entities. This caused the 'Invalid element name'-error.

I think it could work, but it's rather inconvenient to generate <!ENTITY entname "replacement"> for each of my custom-entities
