I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

entity expansion

Our input to $doc=$parser->parse_file (<file>) contains:

<Body>&#x91;hello&#x92;</Body>

A record is read from $doc with findnodes and $record->toString() renders:

<Body>'hello'</Body>

We would like to see the quote entities not expanded and have the following output instead (because of subsequents scripts):
<Body>&#x91;hello&#x92;</Body>

Is it possible to prevent the character entities from being converted in the toString output?
The option $parser->expand_entities(0) doesn't seem to work.
In a Solaris 8 environment this code used to give the desired output. After migrating to Solaris 10, with the same code the character entities are converted.
