You have to tell the XML parser used by XML::Simple that your data is in ISO-8859-1 (that's latin1 for the rest of us), otherwise your data is NOT XML.
Add this XML declaration at the top of your XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
But don't think that's enough... the parser (expat) will convert your data to utf8, so when you output it you might want to convert it back to latin1. Look at Unicode and locales for a recent thread on the subject.

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).
