forcing single quotes on XMLout()

Question

Is there an easy way to force XMLout() of XML::Simple to use single quotes instead of double quotes for the attributes? I didn't find an according option (or I missed it...).

<Object Alias="12345" Inherit="1" Position="0">

should be

<Object Alias='12345' Inherit='1' Position='0'>

It's just a matter of conventions, no special reason for that. Also there won't be any conflict with inner quotes because they are all escaped.

Answer 1

why you want to do this? i dunno any good reason where it can be useful?! you can print your xml file with xml out and open it again doing while(<>){s/\"/\'/g;}
