not well-formed (invalid token) error
I keep getting this error that crashes my program:
not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 1945, byte 2017 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux/XML/Parser.pm line 187
What does this error mean and is there a workaround? Looking at my log files, my initial impression is that the api chokes on special characters in html, and this in turn crashes the api.
Thanks for any help.

C'mon, guys. Someone else should be getting this error.
Using the API, try the following query:
link: http://www.kenexa.com
This always breaks my program due to this error, while similar queries for other domains run perfectly fine.
I'm getting the very same error....
"not well-formed (invalid token) at line 2, column 5, byte 6 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187"
When attempting to parse a HTML archive..... hopefully I can come up with some sort of solution. If I do I'll let you know, please do the same if you can solve it
I have found an explanation for the "invalid-token" error when trying to parse certain documents. The underlying principle is that the XML::Parser module does not accept certain characters in the text:
& (ampersand, must be encoded as
&)
< (left angle bracket, must be encoded as
<)
> (right angle bracket, must be encoded as
>)
Don't forget to include the semicolon!
For a more thorough explanation and also to get around the problem by using CDATA sections in your DTD, here it is the link to the answer: http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.de/listarchive-realbasic-nug/2006-04/thread-05_4.shtml
