Hello Monks, I'm parsing some XML files with XML::Twig, and getting the error below on some files, e.g.:

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 26, column 89, byte 4127 at C:/Perl64/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187

It turns out it's failing on special characters such as the registered or copyright symbols.

I can use regex's to take those out (after stuffing the XML into a variable and using parse() instead of parsefile()), but is there a way I can tell Parser.pm to just ignore or accept them? I'm afraid I'd have to catch them all and might miss a few.

$content =~ s/®//g;

thanks,
Scott
