Parse XML file encoded in ISO-8859-1

Dear Friends, I have an XML file that’s encoded in ISO-8859-1. I have some European characters coming in from 2 fields (Name, Comments) in the XML file. Can anyone suggest if there are any functions in Perl to read those characters? Using Perl can I parse this xml file? Please suggest. I have not done this before. Regards, Madhavi.

It should work provided the xml prolog specifies the correct encoding and you have an XML module that handles this correctly (most newer ones do). XML::Twig should work, and also provides means to specify input and output encoding "manually". See the XML::Twig docs. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"
