in reply to XML parser error

XML::Filter::XInclude appears to be a little too naïve. If the included XML use the same encoding as the including XML, I'd try removing the <?xml?> line from the included XML. If that doesn't work, you'll have to get the bug fixed, switch to UTF-8, or find an alternative solution. Either way, you should report the bug.

By the way, you said you're using Perl 5.8.9, but the message implies you're using 5.12.1??

    i tried switching to UTF-8 ,still the problem persists

      Switching to UTF-8 was to be done after and in addition to removing the <?xml?> directive from the included XML, if needed.

      You'll definitely get that warning as long as the <?xml?> line is in the included XML due to the bug. I was trying to foresee and fix problems you might have after removing the directive. You might have problems parsing an included file without its <?xml?> directive if it's not encoded using UTF-8. You might have problems including a file into a document that has a different encoding than the included file (but probably not).

      It's probably a good idea to use UTF-8 everywhere anyway, if you have a choice.

        Hi,
        Correct if my understanding is wrong.
        You say that the UTF-8 can be used as below ?

        <record xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" encoding="ISO-8859-
+1">
        <module type="record" name="module_a"> 
                <data>data</data>
                 <data>data</data>
        </module>
</record>
