[Catalyst] HTML::Widget and locale problems

[Andreas Marienborg]

Its a problem with HTML::Element.

if you look at the source, there is an _escape__xxx something method

its too greedy, this works for me:
sub _xml_escape {  # DESTRUCTIVE (a.k.a. "in-place")
   foreach my $x (@_) {
       $x =~ s~([<&>])~'&#'.(ord($1)).';'~seg;
   }
   return;
}
