Forms, CGI and special characters

WEB Masters,

Has anybody tried passing an xml/sgml code through a form, I've got 
a perl xml parser which awaits the input from a web form. However 
when the form data arrives, it is URL encoded. There are perl programs 
which convert this back to ascii, however some of the xml characters
namely "<" seem to corrupt the conversion, and when displaying back to
the web page I end up with text which is only showing the non encoded
characters.

Cheers
Dave.
