I'm trying to feed text into an existing XML tree - the problem I'm
encountering is that the text may contain entity references (including
the 'forbidden' '&'), in which case the & is escaped by '&'. I'm
using the module XML::DOM for this.

my $titleText = "Die Br&uuml;cke.";

$title->addText($titleText);
print "$titleText\n"; # for testing: Die Br&uuml;cke.
print $title->toString(); # for testing: <title>Die
Br&amp;uuml;cke.</title>

What if you simply say:

    my $titleText = 'Die Brücke.';
