XML Parsing error - regex problem?

[Graeme McLaren]

Hi all, I'm getting the following XML parsing error:

[Fri Mar 10 09:37:39 2006] insert_xml.pl: not well-formed (invalid token) at 
line 13628, column 24, byte 413248:
[Fri Mar 10 09:37:39 2006] insert_xml.pl: <la>LA14</la>

P.S.</school_name>

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 
185


I've checked my XML file and it contains:


<school_name>St. Patrick<92>s R.C. P.S.</school_name>

This is because St. Patrick's contains an apostrophe.  I have a couple of 
regexes to handle ampersands and apostrophes, however the apostrophe regex 
doesn't appear to be working correctly:


ampersand regex works:

$data->[$i] =~ s/&/&#38;/g;


apostrophe regex doesn't work:

$data->[$i] =~ s/'/&apos;/g;


Any ideas on this one?

G :)

P.S. Thank you to all who replied to my previous post, I got that array 
dereferenced properly.
