You're misunderstanding XML::Encoding.  It *is* a subclass of
XML::Parser but its purpose is simply to parse encoding map files
in order to create new binary encodings for XML::Parser.

The poster clearly wanted to parse documents with GB2313 encoding
which XML::Parser should be able to do. Can we recommend other XML
parsers (SAX or not) which support that encoding?  The SAX2 comment
doesn't seem directly relevant to his problem.
