XML::Simple's design is extremely problematic. So much so that the module's own documentation tells you not to use it. wtf are you doing using this module?!
XML::Simple and ISO-8859-1 encoding buggy?
Decoding is handled by the XML parser. You didn't specify which XML parser you are using. (No, XML::Simple is not an XML parser.) XML::Parser is commonly used by XML::Simple, and XML::Parser handles iso-8859-1 just fine.
use 5.014;
use warnings;
use XML::Simple qw( :strict ); # Taken from OP.
use File::Slurper qw( read_binary );
my $xml = read_binary($ARGV[0]);
# Make sure we know which parser is being used.
local $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER = 'XML::Parser';
# Taken from OP.
my $doc = XMLin($xml, ForceArray => 1,KeyAttr => [ ]);
say sprintf "%vX", $doc;
$ perl a.pl a_latin1.xml
E9
$ perl a.pl a_utf8.xml
E9
On a terminal execting UTF-8:
$ cat a_utf8.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?><root>é</root>
$cat a_latin1.xml | iconv -f iso-8859-1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><root>é</root>

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
