It does, it _almost_ does what I need. It doesn't seem to handle the case
where the tag content starts on a new line though:
<third>
hello
<third>hello
becomes
<third> </third>
hello
<third>hello </third>
I tried undef $/ (as per a different post) but that doesn't seem to help
either. Any ideas how to fix this?
