I cannot reproduce this with either 5.12.3 or with blead, even if I create the file first with DCL and then create a new version with Perl. I'm doing the following: open XML, "> something.xml"; my $x = 'tag'; my $y = 'W' x 200; print XML '<',$x,'>',$y,'</',$x,'>',"\n"; So something is different about your environment or what you're doing. Are you sure there are no embedded newlines in $y? ________________________________________ Craig A.
