I think it expects to be handed decoded XML.
I've personally never used it with anything but ISO-Latin-1 (and haven't encountered any problems so far in this regard). But I think it's true it doesn't properly handle unicode, at least not multibyte encodings like UTF-16.
OTOH, I just converted an ISO-Latin-1 XML file to UTF-8 (and changed the "encoding=...", of course — though that simply appears to be ignored), and it seems to "work" at least in that - when I Data::Dumper the created object - the appropriate chars are passed through unmodified (encoded) — which probably is because it doesn't do any decoding at all, and simply treats everything as bytes... (part of the less-features-for-speed concept, I guess)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
