OK, not libwww, but if anyone can help out here....

I need to replace $ in a string with $ so it doesn't blow up a substandard xml 
parser.

Try this:


$crud = "I need to make $10,000 a month to support my crack habit!";

$crud =~ s/\$/$/g;

print $crud;

Weird? I think so...
Running on the mac or the pc it replaces $10 with nothing. On the indy it terminates 
the string in some patterns and replaces $10 with nothing in others...

I also tried using hexadecimal like so:

$crud =~ s/\$/&\x04336;/g;

It terminated the string at the $ also.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
