I've probably spent too much time working on this and need some outside eyeballs to get me back on track.
I have some xml files that are gzipped, I rotate through the files and open them with a filehandle that pipes them through gunzip. I can pass the filehandle to XML::Simple and process no problem, but an encoding issue has popped up.
The files are supposed to be UTF-8, but the are acutally ISO-8859-1. I figured I could convert them as I processed each file. But the gzip is tripping me up.
Any suggestions on how to gzip and decode on the fly?
