I have a very odd occurence that is happening and I need someone to point me in the right direction. Please keep in mind this happens RANDOMLY! I cannot determine why this is only happening at some times and not others. I am parsing through an XML feed using XML::LibXML. Generally there are no issues but on random occassion I get the following error: 
parser error : Document is empty
parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

Now clearly, the document is fine since it works on occassion, but does anyone have any ideas to prevent this? My initial thoughts are somehow write the contents out locally then parse through again? Here is the basic parser code. Please note, the recover silent option does not work, I'm only adding this to showcase this. Omitting or including this has the same result: 
 
use XML::LibXML;
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
$parser->recover_silently(2);
    my $dom = XML::LibXML->load_xml(location => $xmlurl);
