XML::Parser

Changes: Bugixes for Carp::Heavy.

Changes: A patch to expat to handle declarations, element declation handlers now receive an object containg parsed representation of model, doctype handler called prior to processing DTD, new DoctypeFin and ExternEntFin handlers, basename now set by parsefile method and default external entity handlers, generated strings marked as UTF-8 in Perl 5.6, and many bugfixes.

Changes: Several bug fixes, added the skip_until method to XML::Parser::Expat (suspends handlers until the given element index is reached), XML::Parser::ExpatNB now can perform the original_string and position_in_context methods, there's a new utility in the samples directory which transforms an XML document into Canonical XML, there's a fix for the "Modification of a read-only value" bug that users of perl 5.004 were encountering, incompatibility change to the xml_escape method of Expat (it no longer transforms the '>' character by default), fixed a bug where the doctype handler wasn't being called when the ParseParamEnt option was set and it's now using Version 19990728 of expat, with local patches.

Changes: Bug fixes for declaration callbacks.

Changes: Fixed a SEGV-causing bug, now using Version 1990709 of the expat library, added an additional external entity handler, lwp_ext_ent_handler, that deals with general URIs. It is installed instead of the "file only" handler if the LWP package is installed.
