I see a couple of options here, one of which I don't know if its possible. Easy would be to create a new file with the ampersands parsed out. Thats pretty clunky though. I am hoping I can replace them on the fly before the parser sees them. I am new to XML::Parser though and I am not sure if its possible.	[reply]

The parsers that I've looked at require the whole XML documents. Internally they may swallow a bite at a time, but you've got to give them the whole thing as either a string or a file handle. I guess options are either preprocess the whole document or use a tied variable passed to the parser to process the file as the parser reads it. Perl is Huffman encoded by design.	[reply]
