I am not sure what the problem is, why XML::Parser is unhappy.  Is it
because it is barfing on the non-ASCII characters?  In XML::Parser's docs,
it says you can do something like this:

  $xml->parsefile($file, ProtocolEncoding => 'ISO-8859-1');

However, you probably want MacRoman, and I don't think it comes with
MacRoman.  You can try to build your own; see the ENCODINGS section of the
XML::Parser docs.
