Need Help: Creating XML Tag with ":"

["Satish Lohar" <satish@ensim.com>]

I am new in XML. I have created one XML file which contains some tags.
xml tag is <enabled:int>1</enabled:int> and it is created against HTML tag  <input type=checkbox name="enabled:int" value="1" CHECKED>.

But ":" is special character. So XML Parser fails here. Can anyone let me know what should I do so that it will work.

I am using perl and Linux. But the xml parsers are same on all OS.

PS: The tag <enabled:int> is example. I want to create the tag in xml which contains ":" .

 

Regards,

Satish
