Of course it get escaped, to avoid the confusion between the documents.
Probably, the server is sloppy in its implementation only expecting CDATA
from its parser.  CDATA is the better option in this case, but not the
only option.

On many places where you add elements or attributes, you can not
only pass values but also objects.  For instance, a fully prepared
XML::LibXML::Element object.  You could try to pass a CDATA object.
(If it does not work, we will make it work ;-)

    my $cdata = $doc->createCDATASection($content);
    my @req_params = (parameters => { xml => $cdata });

Can you try this?  If you get errors, please reply to me off-list
until we have a fix.  Hopefully we come to a text for the FAQ.
