XML :: Just ignoring emdash tag?

Question

I am using XML Simple to parse an XML file, the problematic part is as follows:

    <textBody>
        <title>
            <titlePart>
                <text>SECTION A <emdash/> HUMAN NECESSITIES</text>
            </titlePart>
        </title>
    </textBody>
    <ipcEntry kind="t" symbol="A01" ipcLevel="C" entryType="K" lang="EN">
        <textBody>
            <title>
                <titlePart>
                    <text>AGRICULTURE</text>
                </titlePart>
            </title>
        </textBody>
    </ipcEntry

for some reason XML :: Simple completely ignores <text>SECTION A <emdash/> HUMAN NECESSITIES</text> I think this is because the emdash tag is because it <text>AGRICULTURE</text>parses just fine. I also tried setting the parser:

$XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER = 'XML::Parser';

still no. Any idea?
