[Xml-compile] XML document as an embedded CData section

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply!  Sorry for the delay in responding back to you.

I tried this and it worked perfectly!  Nice that it was so easy.

Just for the record, to make it super simple - I actually did this:

use XML::LibXML;
use File::Slurp;

my $xml_content = read_file($filepath, { binmode => 'utf8' });
my $cdata_node = XML::LibXML::CDATASection->new( $xml_content );
my @req_params = (parameters => { xml => $cdata_node });

Thank you again for your help and also all that you have done!

Kind regards,

Christopher Taranto
