test script exhibiting bug
Description of problem:
HTML::Element::as_XML() has a bug where tags added to empty_element_map but
which contain data are missing their close tag when generating XML.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.23-4
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run attached script
Actual results:
Not mapped to empty element (correct)
         <a href="http://example.com/"></a>
Mapped to empty element, no extra content (correct)
        <a href="http://example.com/" />
Mapped to empty element, extra content (missing close tag)
        <a href="http://example.com/">Extra content
Expected results:
Not mapped to empty element (correct)
         <a href="http://example.com/"></a>
Mapped to empty element, no extra content (correct)
        <a href="http://example.com/" />
Mapped to empty element, extra content (correct)
        <a href="http://example.com/">Extra content</a>
Additional info:
I opened an upstream bug with a patch
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49932 however it may take a while
for a new version to come out.
Since HTML::Element is the base class for XML::Element this bug affects all XML
systems where tags can be optionally empty and people wish to use the short
circuit form for the empty tags.
