Mysterious 'duplicate attribute' error

[sciurius]

This program bails out with Not well-formed - duplicate attribute:

use XML::Tiny 2.07;
XML::Tiny::parsefile(\*DATA);
__END__
<tabpage>
   <control type='labelh' text='VEhFUkU=' />
   <control type='faderh' />
</tabpage>

This program bails out with Not well-formed /&gt; <control at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/XML/Tiny.pm line 250, <DATA> chunk 1.:

use XML::Tiny 2.07;
XML::Tiny::parsefile(\*DATA);
__END__
<tabpage>
   <control text='VEhFUkU=' />
   <control type='faderh' />
</tabpage>

A thorny problem, and I'm not sure how to solve it.

So that the module can reliably spot the end of tag character > it transforms any > inside an attribute value into >, and it does that by looking for something that looks like a name, following by =, followed by a quoted string. In your documents, this

VEhFUkU=' />
<control type='

looks like a name, followed by equals, and a quoted string.

Sorry about that. While I am going to have a think about it, don't expect a fix any time soon.
