would be more straightforward and less error-prone than 
$ENV{XML_SIMPLE_PREFERRED_PARSER} = 'XML::Parser';

Whichever method you use, it doesn't need to be done before the module is loaded; just before XMLin is called. Safer: 

use XML::Simple qw( XMLin );

sub parse_xml {
   local $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER = 'XML::Parser';
   return XMLin(@_);
}

my $xml = parse_xml(...);

      If you think it doesn't matter which parser is used, you've been lucky or you haven't used XML::Simple much. You don't have to be an asshole about it.

        There is no difference in regards to "safety" if the op sets the preffered parser via $ENV{XML_SIMPLE_PREFERRED_PARSER} or via $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER , they're both equally safe

        Equally neither is more or less error prone than the oper, especially since the op is using PAR::Packer

        For such a hyper pedant you sure have a flare for saying nonsense and being rude when you're called on it.
