Hi,

I'm getting a weird problem with XML::Simple; 

[Tue Feb 17 03:40:51 2009] import_attachments.cgi: Couldn't open encma
+p iso-8859
-15.enc:
[Tue Feb 17 03:40:51 2009] import_attachments.cgi: No such file or dir
+ectory
[Tue Feb 17 03:40:51 2009] import_attachments.cgi:  at /usr/lib/perl5/
+vendor_per
l/5.8.4/x86_64-linux/XML/Parser.pm line 187

I've tried 2 ways of approaching: 
my $data;
open(READIT,"<$file");
  while (<READIT>) { $data .= $_; }
close(READIT);

my $ref = XMLin($data);

[download]


..and also;

my $ref = XMLin($file);

Please note, this XML format has a lot of accents and stuff in. For example: 
  <vacation id="1872" type="VACATION" countryCode="TR" city="Antalya" 
+dayCount="-7" nightCount="-8" advertiser="expedia" advertiserLogo="ht
+tp://www.illicotravel.com/fr/img/affil/expedia.gif" departureCities="

TIA
