The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 1.5.8

  • On a bad-request error, the error message returned in the XML is supplied in $@, if available. (Otherwise, the HTTP status line message is returned, as was the previous action.)
  • XML parser can now handle CDATA, and is more robust in general.
  • Fixed an XML parser bug WRT numeric entities (thanks to Ask Hansen, who sent the report and fix in in November -- my bad for sitting on it so long).
