ENCODINGS
       XML documents may be encoded in character sets other than
       Unicode as long as they may be mapped into the Unicode
       character set. Expat has further restrictions on encod-
       ings. Read the xmlparse.h header file in the expat distri-
       bution to see details on these restrictions.

       Expat has built-in encodings for: `UTF-8', `ISO-8859-1',
       `UTF-16', and `US-ASCII'. Encodings are set either through
       the XML declaration encoding attribute or through the Pro-
       tocolEncoding option to XML::Parser or XML::Parser::Expat.

       For encodings other than the built-ins, expat calls the
       function load_encoding in the Expat package with the
       encoding name. This function looks for a file in the path
       list @XML::Parser::Expat::Encoding_Path, that matches the
       lower-cased name with a '.enc' extension. The first one it
       finds, it loads.

       If you wish to build your own encoding maps, check out the
       XML::Encoding module from CPAN.
