Getting encoding declaration with XML::SAX

Re: XML::LibXSLT callbacks - trying to "fake" the namespace prefix | Re: Getting encoding declaration with XML::SAX
& XSLT I'm trying to write some code that will parse an XML document and
optionally reserialize it back. I have to expect character sets other
then utf-8 will be passed in. The problem I'm running into is getting
the declared encoding out of the XML while parsing with XML::SAX.
set_document_locator doesn't pick up the encoding declaration. I've
tried a couple of different parsers and feeds with different
encodings. Still no love. Here is a test script I'm running...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

use XML::SAX::ParserFactory;
my $handler = XML::SAX::Foo-> new();
my $p = XML::SAX::ParserFactory-> parser(Handler => $handler);
$p-> parse_file('atom.xml'); # http://www.sixapart.jp/atom.xml

package XML::SAX::Foo;
use base qw( XML::SAX::Base );

use Data::Dumper;
sub set_document_locator { print Dumper(@_) }

What am I do wrong here? Why is the declared encoding information so
difficult to determine?
