Good Day Monks. I am trying to parse and atom feed using XML::TreeBuilder and its parser method is blowing up on the following a particular line. I would include the whole thing here, but based on the preview results it does bad things to the permonks page parser. So I include the first field, which is enclosed by an id tag and says:
tag:amazingracewiki.cbs.com,2007-04-03:/page/Race+Improvements/thread/
+580644/Canadian+Contestants+n&%2339;+More+heart+pumping+suspense.?off
+set=0&maxResults=20/reply1

[download]

The parser is complaining about column 147 where begins the sequence &%2339; I guess the parser is treating this as an invalid escape sequence but it's part of a URL so who knows what it really is.

Question is, how can I deal with this? I don't want to throw away the whole feed because of this one squirrely entry. Is there some way to get the parser to throw out this one entry rather than DIEing?

Thx...

Steve
