& XSLT The XML::LibXML::SAX parser module doesn't seem to throw exceptions when
it encounters badly formed XML.  For example:

  package MyHandler;

  use base 'XML::SAX::Base';

  sub characters { print "Character data: '$_[1]-> {Data}'\n"; }


  package main;

  use XML::LibXML::SAX;

  my $handler = MyHandler-> new;
  my $parser  = XML::LibXML::SAX-> new(Handler => $handler);

  $parser-> parse_string('<para>one < two</para>');

Which prints:

 Character data: 'one '
 Character data: ' two'

When it ought to die on the rogue '<' character.  Other errors like
mismatched closing tags also don't trigger exceptions.

This is the default SAX parser installed into ParserDetails.ini by the
XML::LibXML Makefile.

I don't think this behaviour is new, but for some reason, I'm getting
more people reporting it to me as a bug in XML::Simple recently :-(

Anyone know if this behaviour is deliberate?

Cheers
Grant
