Hi.
I have an interesting problem... the XML parser tests are failing on
my Alpha 7.2 machine due to 'badly formed XML'. When I dig deeper, the
Parser.pm module's "parsefile()" function is opening an XML file, then
doing a "binmode()" on it. If I do a test of:
$crud = scalar <FILE>;
before the binmode() call, it returns one input line. However, if I do
this after the binmode() call, $crud holds the entire content of the
file -- "\n" is no longer recognised as a line terminator.
Is this normal? Should Parser.pm not be doing this? The problem is
that XML considers a return character as a separator, e.g. you can use
it as a white space, and one of the XML-Parser-2_27 test files makes
use of this fact.
