in reply to Ö, Ä, Ü and XML::Simple

I have not used XML::Simple, but shouldn't it pay attention to the encoding specified in the XML declaration? For German, you'd want the Latin-2 alphabet: 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2">

I gather that XML::Simple can ride on top of XML::Parser. From the XML::Parser docs: 

Expat has built-in encodings for: UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, 
UTF-16, and US-ASCII. Encodings are set either through 
the XML declaration encoding attribute or through the 
ProtocolEncoding option to XML::Parser or 
XML::Parser::Expat.

For encodings other than the built-ins, expat calls 

the function load_encoding in the Expat package with 
the encoding name. This function looks for a file in 
the path list @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path, 
that matches the lower-cased name with a '.enc' 
extension. The first one it finds, it loads.
