Yes. That was it. I upgraded to HTML-Tree-3.23 and it fixed the problem .

Wow! thank you *very* much. I decided to use HTML::Widget to speed up
part of an application I have to deliver by tomorrow and was
completely stuck on this issue.

Thanks. I checked the archives before posting and there was _one_
reference to this problem posted in June and it talked about
HTML::Element::_xml_escape() being broken but I could not find that
sub in the version I had installed.

Anyway, thanks again because this simple upgrade fixed the issue apparently.

Best,
Alejandro
