You can do this with XML::Twig, by using the keep_encoding option. Beware that 
in that case the characters are stored just the way they were in the input, so 
if you want to do any kind of comparison, you will have to compare to the string 
'&#x69'. Also you will have to take care of escaping < and & yourself.

perl -MXML::Twig -e'XML::Twig-> new( keep_encoding => 1)->parse( "<xml>Resolved: 
&#x69; Not resolved:%amp;</xml> ")->print'
