Re^2: Trapping XML error using Perl

It does, if the xml file is not well formatted, like:

Software error:
unclosed token at line 1810, column 6, byte 65534:
      <Car>N</Car>
      <Bus>N</Bus>
      <
=====^
 at C:/Perl/lib/XML/Parser.pm line 187

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error
+ message and the time and date of the error.

That's what I don't want, I want to get the error before and skip this file, and not display it to the user.

I'm afraid that you can't do that with XML::Parse because it `die`s on malformed XML. On the other hand try and see XML::SAX and XML::SAX::Exception. I think they can help you Careful with that hash Eugene.	[reply] [d/l]
