This is where your error is. As explained in the XML::Encoding 
documentation, XML::Encoding is a *subclass* of XML::Parser. In order to 
use it, you need to replace all occurences of XML::Parser in your script 
with XML::Encoding.

The perl-xml list from ActiveState may be a better source of information 
on the topic.

As a side-note, XML::Parser is pretty much considered to be deprecated 
by the Perl XML community. Nowadays people tend to take their pick from 
one of the many SAX2 parsers that are on CPAN.
