Are there any users of XML::Parser out there that have tried using Shift_JIS encoding?

There is a message in the XML/Parser/Encoding/ directory that explains that there isn't a Shift_JIS encoding file, or rather that there are four for four incompatible encodings that might be called "Shift_JIS". Thats fine and dandy, but my xml is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Shift_JIS"?>, and I can't really change that now.

What am I to do? I tried copying one of the x-sjis....enc files to "shift_jis.enc" but I still get an "unknown encoding" error.

I'm using perl 5.8.5 with cygwin, and the latest versions of XML::Parser and Encoding on cpan.

Begging your favour.

James.
