Re^2: error returned with XML::Simple or Data::Dumper

Sorry, this is in a sub routine, and $_data is passed to the subroutine... so it is not undefined...

I have it write to a debug file and here is an example of it, I only changed the private data...

Data Received: "




<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<response>
<status>success</status>
<cardnumber>4141414141414141</cardnumber>
<balance>1872.39</balance>
</response>
"

XML Parser Parsed it into: $VAR1 = {
          'balance' => '1872.39',
          'cardnumber' => '4141414141414141',
          'status' => 'success'
        };
[download]

So, I know it is getting data passed to it.

Your $_data contains data in a character encoding that XML::SAX::PurePerl knows nothing about. Where are you getting $_data from? Is it UTF-8? ASCII? Some other charset? Is the charset being mangled about along the line? I couldn't see how to specifically tell XMLin which charset to use. -derby	[reply]

some xml parsing modules are more strict than others with regards to well formed and valid xml file etc. in your case i think you need to specify the encoding to be sure it's parsed `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>` [download] or whatever encoding you desire. the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H	[reply] [d/l]
