in reply to Extract data from non-standard .xml file

According to this post on w7forums.com, it has an embedded PNG image followed by what may or may not be a checksum before the unicode XML content begins. HTH!

    Thanks for the link, it may be useful in the future. So far, I only have to read the data, not edit it. I am now able to extract the XML with a REGEX, decode it into ASCII with the Encode module (using 'UTF16LE'), and parse the ASCII string with the module XML::Bare.

    I will now change my documentation to refer to the "block of binary data" to as the "PNG image".
