XML-Entities This module provides a mapping from the standard XML entities to their Unicode characters. A function for decoding is provided. The mapping can be generated from a DTD file with entity definitions. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The "make" command (without specified target) builds the module. In this phase, the entities are downloaded from the web (w3.org site by default). The script doing this (download-entities.pl) can be tweaked by arguments and environment variables. To enable interactivity during download and to set the timeout to 10 seconds, the installation procedure would look like this: perl Makefile.PL make INTERACTIVE=1 DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT=10 make test make install To rebuild the entity definitions, run perl download-entities.pl > XML/Entities/Data.pm SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc XML::Entities Documentation for the download-entities.pl script can be found in the POD format within itself.
