Hello, I have a block of code that crashes when running through XMLin(). If I remove the encoding piece from the top XML tag, it works fine. I can not find anything on the net that indicates this will fail. Does anyone have a clue as to why this would hang? 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<mytag>
  <mytag.ack errors="0" responses="1">
    <mytag.response>User data updated for ID: 545454545</mytag.respons
+e>
  </mytag.ack>
</mytag>

The blocks above are stored in a variable called $result that gets returned from a 3rd party's soap service. 
my $xs = new XML::Simple(keeproot => 1);
my $XMLref = $xs->XMLin($result, suppressempty => '');

Thanks in advance for whatever guidance you can offer. - Mark
