Dia prints that error if the document is not a valid XML file (ie.
openning and closing tags don't match or the <?xml ...?> header is
missing). Looking at your code, the only thing I see that could cause
this is this line:
print qq{ <dia:object type="UML - Class" version="0" id="O},$i-1,qq{">
<dia attribute name="obj_pos">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
<dia:point val="$x,$y"/>
</dia:attribute>
This is probably supposed to say "<dia:attribute" rather than
"<dia attribute". See if this helps.
James.
