Re^2: XML - Escaping characters from database for XML

With XML::LibXML, you can get away without creating a document and element...

print XML::LibXML::Text->new('<&')->toString;
[download]

It's pretty easy to wrap that up into a function:

sub escape_xml {
  XML::LibXML::Text->new(shift)->toString
}

print escape_xml('<&');
[download]

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Well, yes. I was just discreetly suggesting creating the whole packages in XML::LibXML.	[reply]
