The first thing that springs to mind is that you might have
a blank line
before the XML declaration.  If your XML has the <?xml
... bit at the
beginning, then the '<' *must* be the first character in
the file.

Having said that, the particular message you're getting is
more
consistent with XML::Parser encountering a completely empty
file.  Are
you sure your filename is correct and you're calling the
right parse
method?  Or if you're parsing from a string, are you sure
the string has
XML in it?

Also are you using XML::Parser directly?  That would
probably not be a
good idea.  XML::XPath is a good layer on top of XML::Parser
but if you
can get it on your platform the XML::LibXML is a better
bet.
