Did you already try the "C" to "U" fix?
Did you encode () your data before passing it to XML?
Did you use Encode::Entities or something, so you're sure, no illegal characters ended up in the XML?
Frankly, your second update doesn't tell me how far you are, and where the current trouble lies
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
Comment on Re: Excel to XML issue with Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
I changed "C" to "U" and that worked fine. My issues now is that I can't get the row value into it's respective template variable in the template. That is, I can't just SELECT it like I would with SQL.
