I'm using the perl XML::Node module. The issue is the body field. This field contains XHTML tags (for example,

, ,

). I have been unable to extract the contents of .... The only solution I've found is to explicitly specify tags such as
, , and
. That is by no means an ideal solution. There must be something I'm missing. It has been suggested I use XML::Parser instead (XML::Node is based upon XML::Parser). See a working example at http://beta.freshports.org/tmp/testing.tgz it runs like this: perl load_vuxml_into_db.pl vuln.xml If someone can figure out how I can do this, it will be appreciated.
