Description of problem: Using this version of XML::Dumper I ran into some very strange problems which weren't expected during storing a Perl hash into XML. E.g. if a key contain char ', strange things are happen (value isn't stored in XML. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-XML-Dumper-0.4-25.noarch.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a hash where a key contain a ' Actual Results: Problems Expected Results: No problems Additional info: All issues I ran into are solved using current version 0.67. According to the ChangeLog, many issues were solved since 0.40. I found version 0.40 very unuseful...
Both Fedora Core release 1.91 (FC2) and the Fedora Core development tree contain the package "perl-XML-Dumper-0.71-1". Does this package solve your issues?
perl-XML-Dumper could use a spec rewrite
Created attachment 113685 [details] Rewritten specfile 0.4 had indeed some serious XML escaping bugs. The following trivial script demonstrates the issues with it, and works as expected with 0.71: #!/usr/bin/perl use XML::Dumper; my %h = ( "foo'bar" => '"quu<>x', 'b"a"r' => "baz" ); print new XML::Dumper->pl2xml(\%h); Attached is a specfile rewrite which fixes the build error with 0.71-3 as well as some other smallish issues (see %changelog).
Thanks dude
